Design Question

Hey guys, i had a really quick question that has to do with design in 3DS Max. I feel like kinda a noob asking it, as it is probably very obvious. How do you add a texture to an object. a custom texture, not one of the ones they give you. There doesnt seem to be any browse button, that would allow you to open a picture from a different file.

If anyone could shed some light on this, it would really help.

PS: I've already looked at the help manual section of the program, and couldnt find anything.

Well, if it's anything like the ancient 3dsMAX2 I used in school, you have to add the texture into your library as a Bitmap, then apply it to your object via the materials window from there.

oh, i see. Ill try that. Thanks alot.

Ill post back if there is any problems.

You add a bitmap to the diffuse map slot. It is in the manual but you knew that already right ;)

Ya i see, k thanks. Of course i knew, i love reading manuals! :) lol
