thanks for the reply but i actually managed to work out the issue i was having. :)
turns out i needed to just hit Alt+Z, fancy that right?

TY for the guides on youtube btw Helljumper, have helped me alot to learn how to model quickly

Hey there, i picked up Blender yesterday and have managed to make my first base model for a item after many hours watching tutorials.
However i have run into a problem, i cant seem to work out how to view the UV bake in blender after ive sent it through photoshop, i need to be able to see how things line up on the model.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated

I used the downloaded Sven files from valve and built around it
I am running Blender V2.69
