UV mapping + render = problem

Support Materials and Textures
1

Hello.

I decided to register on this forum, so this is my very first post. I have a pretty “basic” problem. I am trying to get know the UV mapping thing and the things that come with it. I’ve added a plane, unwrapped it, got into UV/Image editor. Opened the image, and did everything. I could see it in Textured mode. Well afterall I’ve went to render screenshot (F12), and I could only see a goddamned gray plane. What the heck? What did I miss?

Please help, I’ve already watched minimum 3 tutorial videos about UV Mapping and texturing and I couldn’t figure out why the texture doesn’t show up in Render mode.

You will need to add a material to your plane, add the texture to your material mapped to the objects UVs. Just adding the texture in the image editor will not render it.
