New to Mesh, cant see textures previewed in the SL mesh upload preview window

[Manes Siamendes]

Hey I've recently started to get into Mesh modelling. I am quite good with 3dsMax but to get a feel of Mesh and how it works I am currently starting off simple and creating simple objects and testing them. However for some reason I am not able to see textures previewed in the uploader when I click the Textures checkbox under Display. I applied a simple bitmap to an object I made and it rendered well, but why is it not showing in SL's upload preview window?

I am also using a third party viewer, Phoenix 1.6.1.1691. Could it be the viewer? Or could it be Max's exporter? I am using Max 2012 by the way.

It is definately the exporter, the dae file 3ds max generates does have all the UV data, but not the textures. You won't be able to upload them with the model so you can't see them in the preview.

The uploader is a bit buggy. Sometimes I am un able to see the textures applied in the preview window but they always seem to get uploaded when I click settings to include the texture. I Use viewer 3
