I’m not able to display an image on a plane primitive. I’m trying to add it throug hthe Srufaces tab in the Diffuse Color section, it appears there, but not on the actual plane, Do any others settings have to be adjusted?

Is your Diffuse Strenght set to 100%? I can get an image easily. Also you will need a light on the Front of the plane for the image to show. If your lighting is behind it the image will not be visable.

If the sizes are off, is there a way to stretch or shrink the image to fit?

Just shrink your Plane with the Prameters Tab, X and Z scale I belive.

I still got nothing. I tried jpg, png, bmp, all different sizes, added lights, rotated and resized the plane and it’s still gray.

How are you doing this? Create Primative Plane. Select Plane in Scene Tab. Open Surfaces Tab. Open Default Diffuse, use Drop down arrow to browse to image. Add Image. My steps.

Yes, I did everything you did. I have 4.0 pro 64bit. I just tried rendering and it DOES show, but for some reason not in Studio… is that normal?

That might be a issue of your Graphic Card. But I’m not sure. Do you get textures on other Items like Genesis?

All other textures seem to work fine. As long as it renders fine I guess it’s OK. Thanks for the suggestions.

I know it might be obvious, I am new with Daz Studio, you have to have the draw style set to texture shaded, I have made that mistake.

You win the prize! Somehow I had it set to smooth shaded!
