Assigning SLW Materials in Link editor // New Users

 Hello all,


Today I was fooling around with TS, checking the SuperLW Materials. I assigned a material to my object by dragging from the Material Library. In Link Editor I open up the material and notice that the LWMaterial has a few nodes of its own (one for Color, one for Reflection and one for Displacement). I notice that the Reflection node has a few "ImageX" atttributes (X was a number from 1 to 8). Naturally I assume in the textboxes beside these I put a path for the Image I want to use, but after putting a path there, nothing happens! So I try to drag an image from the Image Browser into Link Editor, but I can't, either. So I drag it into Material Library instead, only I can't either. After poking around for a while I started to believe that there is simply no way to import an image into Material Library. What I want is to get an "Image" or "Texture" Object into Link Editor so I can connect it to the Reflection's imagex attributes, or is that not the way it works? Can someone clear this up? Link Editor drives me crazy!!

 Hi,


Just to let everyone know that I solved the problem. Unfortunately, I had no help on this one.
