planeing?

[armanguy]

When i do this there isent any pic so what do i do:

First draw your gun, and put it on a plane. Press the "f" key (to go to the front view). Create a plane (Objects tab / plane object) by clicking once on the screen and then drag.(keep mousebutton down).

Then press "m" on your keyboard to show the Material Editor (can also be found under Rendering>Material Editor).
Select an empty slot. Next to the Diffuse color is a button, click on it and select 'bitmap'. Then browse for your gun picture. Assign the material to the plane, select the plane and in the Material Editor you can find the button to assign the material to the plane.

All you need to do is check the "Show map in viewport" button shown in the image below.

This is so you can turn the texture on and off of objects for tweaking and adjustments without a texture getting in the way

If your having trouble with it you can open the folder with the pictures in, ie C:\My Pictures and simply drag the picture from the dir into an empty slot in the material editer.
