ok this is just something that i was bothered by, im aware that this has no effect on how it looks like when its rendered. But when ever i apply a texture to an object, then its shading like dies or something, until i render it that is.

[hihosilver]

Would you be willing to show us examples?  Such as, the object with shading before the texture is applied, the object with the texture applied, then the object when rendered?

I notice the same thing. If I take a white picture and texture it across the face of a sphere there's no shading anymore atleast on the faces containing the tecture. But I think that's more to keep processing power down so that it dosent slow your computer while modeling.

Ah, I found the problem.  You're using the normal anim8or shader.  Go, "View>Preferences" and check "use shaders"  That should fix your problem.

Of course, you will need a graphics card that supports OpenGL (every new card has it)

[saijeehiguchi]

"Use Shaders" is grayed out.

im running on vista if that matters.

[beyond_3rd_dimension]

It means your graphics adapter does not support OpenGL required for Anim8or (As Tanzim mentioned earlier).

[saijeehiguchi]

hmm is there any easy way to fix this?

[beyond_3rd_dimension]

Nothing within my knowledge... The only solution is to render each time...

[hihosilver]

You can dry updating your graphics card, other than that you'd probably have to buy a new graphics card that supports OpenGL

[CobraSpectre]

To use the shaders you need a video card that supports OpenGL 2 and drivers that have OGL 2 code.

The lowest Nvidia card is the FX5200.

Just a precision:

For the shader option to be active,you need a video card supporting
OpenGL 1.4(multitexturing and shader version 1.0).
For the OpenGL renderer to be active,you need a video card supporting
OpenGL 2.0(probably because you need FBO with attached texture).
