I’m new to skinning and so, but tis is how I did it:
I went into the Uv/Image editor in one window , and 3d view in the other. I’m making a space ship, so for the front window for example, I selected all faces wich belong to that window. Then in Uv editor I clicked open and choosed a window texture, I also clicked U - > LSCM to make the whole windows to the texture.
I used this technique to skin my whole ship with different parts and so, maybe 12 .jpg files for the different parts.
When I click object mode, ans choose textured it shows fine, but when I click render the ship is all white/grey… Why?
Here’s dome pictures:
