Texture not showing in Maya.

Texture not showing in Maya.

Now when I export it to Mudbox the texture's there. And in the Texture Box under that one tab dealy that lets you pick a variety of shaders, and shows what's attached to what. I have the texture as a Diffuse Map. [even though nothing shows up under the Materials section for some reason].

 

But I'm using a Makehuman file I exported from Blender as an FBX, and while the texture shows up when I export it to Mudbox. It only shows itself as a grey mesh in the viewport in Maya.

 

How do I get it so that I can see the texture on my Mesh while in Maya?

That option's greyed out, and unselectable for me for some reason.

In the viewport render tab what renderer are you using?

I haven't used render yet. I'm using the normal Viewport that opens when you load up Maya 2016 [Viewport 2.0].

Create a shader and add your texture to and assign the shader to your model.

That isn't working either ... which is weird since I am able to load up one with a lesser rig attached to it. 

 

I keep getting a error load problem where they can't find a filename when loading. 

 

The shin shader itself shows the displacement map, and I can apply the displacement map as it's own shader. But it won't load up onto the model itself.

It is probably because you do not have the path of the texture input correctly.  Goto the shader and the color channel....the box to the right click it and broswe to your texture.

It's there under textures, and the image works perfectly fine when exported to Mudbox and from Mudbox to 3ds Max [going straight to 3ds Max causes a catastrophic skeleton error. So I just do things the long way XD.]. I just ended up loading a older save. It's the same base mesh with a lesser skeleton rig.
