Hey guys,  
  
  
  
my texture is not displaying on the IntroducingPVRTools example. I made a .PVR file and filewrapped it. I then added to .cpp to the solution and changed the name in `const char c_szTextureFile[]` code, then ran it but the texture is not showing up. My texture is of size 256x256 and I applied the normal map effect on it, not sure if this is the problem but I thought I would include it anyway. At the moment it is just displaying a black triangle  
  
  
  
Thanks

Hi,  
  
  
  
Based on your description I would say that your texture doesn’t have any MIP-map levels. If you re-export your texture with some or modify IntroducingPVRTools to use GL\_LINEAR for GL\_TEXTURE\_MIN\_FILTER instead of GL\_LINEAR\_MIPMAP\_NEAREST then in theory you should see your texture.  
  
  
  
Thanks,
