applying textures in 3DS Max?

[nanobuds]

so i try to drag-n-drop textures to models in 3DS Max 2010, but it doesnt work.... the circle with the cross through it appears and it wont let me drop it.

are there any other ways to apply textures?

[SonicBrawler]

yes. there is. put the texture files in the same area as the model. also, if that still doesnt work, it shold say that it cant fidn teh textures, adn you could click find path or something like that

[nanobuds]

yeah ik that but im trying to add textures to models that dont even have  textures applied in the first place

[SonicBrawler]

oh. well i think i read somewhere that you have to tell what textures apply. i forgoet how tho. sorry :/

was there not an option in materials called "apply to selection"? It may work

[nanobuds]

like the materials arent even in any materials loaded into 3DS max. idk how to load them into the program without using drag-n-drop

So you cannot get the materials into the weird spheres in 3DS max? like, not being able to drag drop the textures images into max?
