Hi guys! I’ve been learning Blender for the past 10 days and I am loving it. I’ve already done 9 simple models and I expect to continue. Now, the only little problem I have with Blender is that every other model it messes up my UV texture file. Sometimes I have saved but when I open the file at new the texture has turned black. Other times I just switched between object and texture paint mode and the texture turns black. Most of the time I can still see my texture in the tiny preview before selecting image, but when selected it’s only black. The material also goes black. I have turned on “pack external files”, save data block. The only time I seem to be able to keep my textures intact is when I keep saving them as a separate PNG, but that seems inconvenient. I am hoping I am just doing some rookie mistake, but whatever it is I hope someone have had the same problem or know how to fix it. It would make my life a lot easier.
I’ll add a couple of screenshots, please ask if you want screenshots of other menus ect
