Mine won't show the current texture that is mapped. I put a texture on it in blender 2.8, copied the tree mesh, armature and leaves and particle system stuff INTO Blender 3.5.1. It all came over perfectly using copy/paste (append did NOTHING) so I click on the TRUNK to select the tree mesh. Go into UV editing.... nothing. I select all verts, all faces, nothing shows up in the left window. I click every image icon and the tree bark texture is not listed as an option. I am so baffled by UV that I have no idea how it works or why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Any ideas? I tried smart uv project.... it still showed nothing in my left window where it should show the texture and UV coordinates. heeeeeeeelp.
