Show plane texture while in weight paint mode Like you can see on the second image, I painted some areas brown. I made a particle system with grass an tree items and I want to use weight paint to spread them over the model. I only don't want them on the brown area but when I switch to weight paint than do the textures disappear. 

I am using the blender render engine and my blender version is 2.74

My question: how can I still see the textures while in weight paint
Set the 3d view shading type to Rendered, select the area you want to paint on with Ctrl+B, change the mode to Weight Paint and...paint!
