Texture or pixel coordinates missing?

I found a tutorial,unfortunately the add texture in the texture editor are greyed out.(Blender alpha)

If you select any object in the scene and go into texture paint mode the texture tab will appear by magic and you can then add a new brush texture.

Set the type to none and then open the texture node editor. select Brush as texture type and activate use nodes.

You can exit texture paint mode.

You can now change the nodes (no longer greyed out) and use that brush texture in the compositor as in the tut.

CDMJ was also complaining that texture creation is now bound to brushes I think they managed to persuade the devs to work on enabling access to the old texture nodes directly in compositor but it is very recent and I think not yet implemented. For the moment you have to make a brush.

See this thead (watch this space for progress.)

Global Textures - Blender Render Legacy

They were kind enough to post a fix for now that will enable us to access the blender render textures in the texture node of the compositor. I’ll have to wait for a build to try. Problem is that the procedurals are always live until sent to render and as you adjust brush or shader they update. Main issue I have is access across blender overall. Try a displace texture and that updates as you change the texture same as for a brush. I’m just sure that eventually we will see a more unified system o…
