Hi everyone,

I watched the Organics course by Jack Edwards from beginning to end, so I could preview what the entire course was about. Then, I went back to the beginning and began to start the project. I downloaded the "resources", the "scripts", and the software, and I am stuck on this line in the course of Chapter 1: "Release the mouse button with the cursor over the thumbnail and notice the thumbnail updates to show that the texture is loaded into the material and the plane also updates with the new material in the 3D view." Yes, I released the mouse button with the cursor over the thumbnail and noticed that the thumbnail was not updated.

I have trueSpaceBeta 7.61, the most recent version.

Thanks in advance,
kiwifruit

Did add the material to the plane?

You have to Ctrl-drag the title bar of the bitmap object from the Link Editor to the thumbnail in the material panel. Alternately you could CTRL click on the thumbnail and browse to the file manually.

Also note that there is a change in 7.6 that it not reflected in the video. You need to apply the material to the object by clicking the funnel looking icon in the Material Editor panel.

If you are still having trouble figuring out the material editor, you can skip it and load up the scene that I've provided for doing the next chapter and start from there instead.

I clicked on the funnel looking icon in the Material Editor panel and applied the material to the object. I think the funnel looking icon is the "paint objects" tool. But when I applied the material and went to the next lesson where I added the primitive objects, the objects had the texture of the fish. How do I remove the texture of the fish?
