the simple room: carpet texture?

manekiNeko

we got this awesome environment freebie a week ago, The simple room , and i found the round carpet texture, some twirlies design, absolutely beautiful (visible on the thumbnail in the smart or content panels).
but when i load the carpet, either as a separate prop or in the whole environment preload, this cool texture/material is not there, instead there's some greyish mesh. and there's no material or shader either that could be applied later on the prop. i even looked in the textures to load the twirlies from the surface panel, nope.
so..how can i get my twirlies?

Sounds like the rug slipped thru without uv mapping. If that's the case it will never show anything unless you can uv map it :'(

how could you actually see that?  with UV mapper?

hmm doesn't quite make sense to me tho - first, this rug on the thumbnail IS mapped... and even if it wasn't, say the object has a fault and isn't UV mapped... the texture should still be in the folder.. according to my logic..

WAIT.. NO! what i see, the "greyish mesh", IS actually a texture, i can see the pic in the folder and the miniature thumb in the surface panel. it's just not the beautiful one on the thumb.. it's as if the PA prepared the product with this texture, made a thumb.. and then didn't join that texture for some reason---

btw.. lovely avatar! <3 and hilarious last quote in the sig XD
