3d object turns white when I add a texture. HELP!!!

Complete noob. Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything on this anywhere.

I've imported a textures (png.) into my assets and when I try drag it onto a 3d object (cube), the cube just turns white. Any idea why this is happening? I've tried it with different textures as well and the same thing happens. I've attached some screenshots to illustrate what I mean.

Any help would be most appreciated.

 

Could you show us the Inspector panel for the material assigned to the cube in your second screenshot, please? The one called "token001."

 

Certainly

 

You'll need to assign the Texture under Base Map.



Just drag it into the gray square.

 

Oh that worked. Thank you so much!

 

Yay

As for why the cube was fully white in the end: Since there was no texture assigned yet, it took the color instead (the white square with the pipette icon next to it).

 

I'm having the same problem, except with adding a texture layer to a terrain. I am using the texture samples that come with Terrain tools. Any idea?
