*SOLVED* 3ds Max UVW background map always black
polycounter lvl 8
Hey,
I just want to change my background image in the "Unwrap UVW" Editor. Normaly I just go in the upper right corner, click pick texture, select bitmap and than my map on my pc.
Right now it always looks like this:
I also tried different formats like .tga .jpg .png and set 3ds max to default settings but nothing helped. This is 3ds max 2016, so maybe someone knows the problem.
Thanks

Watch the part about %Appdata% and changing the ENU folder to ENU.OLD
Don't be scared when you start up 3Ds max again, because it will have all of it's settings, including keybindings changed to the default.
Get back to me if that works.
1. Unwrap UVW modifier on top of Edit Poly
2. Upper Right -> Pick Texture -> Bitmap -> Select Texture on my PC (its a .tga Normal Map, but also .png and .jpg doesnt work)
3. Black Image apears.
Have you tried a clean scene? Or open up a scene that comes along with 3Ds Max to see if the problem presists.
If this doesn't work then I don't know. Sorry.
Thanks guys, have a great day
