rendering textures

Question

I've made a low poly wolf, just to learn how to unwrap objects and make a easy texture, but when i wanted to render the final image blender didn'render the texture and rendered just the basic gray material. What do I have to do if I want my texture rendered?

if you are using Blender Render ( Internal) , Make sure you have set a texture / Assigned a material to your wolf . To do this :

1. Select the walk , Go into edit mode and select the material Tab in the properties panel [If you have not got any materials in the tab , Click "New"]

2.Make sure everything is selected ( Press A until everything is highlighted ) , and press "Assign"

3. Select the Texture tab ( It is a checkered image next to the materials tab )

And click on one of the empty slots , And select the following :

4. Now set the Co - Ordinates , As shown :

5. Try and render the image now . Make sure you have Ambient Occlusion on , Or make sure you have lights in the scene so the wolf is visible.
