How do you change what object the node editor is editing? I'm a total noob to blender. I've tried to start using the node editor, but when I added the texture it went to the wrong object instead of the one I had selected when switching from object to edit mode. Closing and reopening node editor didn't work, either. How do I make it so it edits the object I want it to?
You need to make sure you are not in the "World" node settings and that you are modifying the right slot if your objects has several materials.
