Texture with UV grid not showing up on 3d object I'm new to this. Learned a lot through tutorials, but now I am stuck at uv mapping thing.  

Marked all the seams, it all shows well in UV/Image editor, but when I assign texture with UV grid on the mesh I cant see the grid on 3d object. Texturing is on so I'm not sure what I did wrong.  

I tried the same with simple cube and it just doesn't show up. Checked few other tuts for this, but none helped to solve this.
On the panel to the right click the material tab. add new material. to the right of "color" their is a tiny button. click that button. now click the button that says image texture and then for the image select the one you are already using on your UV mapping.
