linking Diffuse channel

[ghilbli]

don't really understand your problem. you load the map for the diffuse channel, just like the same way you did the others...

I'm not really sure about your question.

Diffuse is a scalar not vector, so if you have an image file and link it to diffuse channel it will use alpha (which scalar) as default connection while color, ambient on couple other are vector which will accept outColor from the image file as default connection. If you need other channels instead of alpha you need to link it through connection editor.

If you want to show the diffuse map in UV texture editor, you need to set the hardware texturing to the diffuse first. Then you can display the image in UV texture editor.

Use the connection editor and pick only ONE channel (ie :red only) and link that to the diffuse.

Or use the RGBtoHSV node to convert the image to a value, and then use only the value channel to plug into the diffuse.
