Viewing texture in solid mode – not working for me

[Sean]

Hi all, following texture tutorials, I can see a texture on my model fine in Material Preview mode (duh…), but even though I have Textures selected on Color menu in Viewport Shading dropdown for Solid View mode, the texture is not shown as on the tutorial. I’m guessing I’ve missed a switch somewhere – but where?
(I can still work fine in Material Preview mode, but it’s bugging me, that’s all…)

Thank you!

You need to have the Image Texture Node selected in the Shader Editor:

Thank you, but that doesn’t do it – I have texture in object mode but when I switch to edit it goes.

May I ask what Blender version you are using?

Should work up till 3.0.

In 3.1 and 3.2 there is something changed and it doesn’t show the Texture in Edit Mode, at least not out of the box.

Ah that’ll be it. v3.1.
Ok, not to worry, just as long as it’s not me misunderstanding something.

Thank you
