Blender is confusing! - Brute - 01-18-2012

The new version of Blender is freaking me out! It's totally confusing. I barely managed to create some models, but I seemed to have problems for putting a texture on them. No matter, if I choose a picture in the UV-image Editor or in the other, weird window. They model is everytime invisible and creating an material won't help, because it just setting on one half of the model, very strange!

Is there anyone, who could help me? I was looking for tutorials but hadn't found anything helpful! Confused

Compared to Blender 2.4, i love the new interface introduced in 2.5.

If the model has no textures in the model editor or in game, then the textures are missing .mat files. The .mat files have to have the same name as the texture, excluding the file extensions. If the textures are not applied on the model properly, then perhaps your UV coordinates are wrong. If, however, by "one half of the model" you mean "half of the faces of the mesh", then you forgot to convert the quads to tris before export.

For starters, study this: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/third_party_tools/3d/blender

After that, provide a better description of your issue (preferably with images).
