png texture not showing correctly

Questions & Answers
1

Hi,

I have this game object, namely an artery-like structure and I created a diffuse material for it. I simply tried to attach a .png pink-coloured texture I found from the internet for it which has arterial-like characteristics, but unfortunately these details are not showing and only the base colour of the texture can be seen. This is the first time I’ve ever really worked with materials and textures so I may be doing something wrong.

Any suggestions…?

Thank you!

Hi jamesb1 ,

change your material type diffuse to Unlit/Transparent to solve problem

I’m having the same issue. I haven’t technically resolved it yet, but I’ve found the first problem. Blender doesn’t create a UV map automatically, so the textures aren’t applied correctly. You can create a UV map in blender - here’s the documentation on it:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Textures/Mapping/UV/Unwrapping

I unwrapped mine without messing with seams or anything, and it doesn’t look quite right, so apparently there’s some knowledge/skill involved in the process. I probably won’t look any deeper for a while, as I’m not sure what I want my final product to look like, yet, but I’ll let you know if I find any other useful info.
