Could someone please help me?

I’m currently going through the PDF tutorial and whenever I select my object and go to Lighting/Shading > Assign new material > Blinn, nothing happens to my object! I know that a new material should be applied from the tutorial, but nothing is happening!

What do I do?

you positive its not being assigned? You can check by selecting your object and checking its assigned material in the attribute editor.
You can also right click on the object and go assign new material.
and hit “6” to make sure shading and textures are displayed.

That worked! It was selected, but the textures weren’t displayed. Sorry about the frivilous question! I’m new to the software and didn’t know what to do!
