Override with UV Checker does not work

[MariaGomez-MFE]

Hello! 

I am following the 3ds Max tutorials and I've reached the 6th tutorial (3ds Max | Working with UVs | AREA by Autodesk). I've tried using the 'Override with UV Checker' view as instructed but I only get black instead of showing the panels like in the tutorial. Does anyone know how to fix this and why it happened? I had the tutorial scene open and once it happened I created a new one thinking it was the file but it wasn't.

Any error messages?

Maybe it cannot find the blue-green bitmap needed for the UV Checker display?

For me, that map is stored at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2026\maps\uvwunwrap\uv_checker.png

It was what you said. The tutorial/sample files are downloaded to 3ds Max 2021 instead of 2026 so I had to manually change all the files to the 2026 folder and that seems to have mostly fixed it but I'm still missing a lot of textures and colours in different parts of the tutorial. 

Thanks!
