Hello all.

I just downloaded AC3D and was immediately struck with it! I'm very new to 3D graphics, so I imagin the question is probably very trivial; but my lack in proper terminology and experience it is sometimes difficult.

All I am trying to do right now is create a simple 3D tile map -- made up of planes and textures. I added a "Rect" to my view port and then tried to apply a texture via Object->Texture->Load Texture... But both my (XY) and 3D view show the rect as white still.

What do I need to do in order to add a simple texture to a rect?

I'm also wondering, what is the best way to set up a model w/ (approx) 10 textures applied to multiple planes? Is it just as easy to apply the texture to each plane, or is there a more efficient/proper way of doing it in AC3D?

Many thanks for any help!
