Why it gotta be so complicated to just put the textures in

For people who, like me, have had problems:
1. If nothing happens after clicking on "Add Principled Setup", it is because you must first select the "Principled BSDF" node and then click on "Add Principled Setup".
2. If your model remains black after performing all the actions, you must set the "Alpha" parameter of the "Principled BSDF" node to 1.

For some reason, the half with blender and file doesn't come up on my screen, and i can't clicl file.what do i do?

Hello everyone, I'm in Blender 4.0.1. If you don't see the Node Wrangler in the right side tabs, I saw the Node Wrangler appear in Shader Editor (same editor where you see the nodes), meaning you have to change the editor type. Shortcut to select Shader Editor is Shift+F3. You can have multiple windows open, so one side is the selected object and the other side is the nodes. As for me, it is tricky since if it's a model with lots of separate parts, I realized you pretty much have to select separate parts of the model, make sure principal BSDF is selected, select an image texture, and repeat until you have imported the textures on everything. It is a tedious process. You may see "no matching image found", it could be because the image texture doesn't fit that part of the model so you'll have to try a different part of the model. For me, I am working with an OBJ model and there's multiple parts so I've been clicking on separate models and doing a trial/error until I get all image textures imported.

Hey. tysm for this vid.

You mentioned this method might not work for all types of imports
Which ones might it not work for?
.. and how would the textures be imported instead?

Thanks in advance.

I can't get the Principled BDSF to appear. When I Shift + A, it's greyed out.

My exported models (.blend, .obj, .fbx) are loading in blender just fine with the texture, but when loaded in other software they don't have the texture on.
While loading other models from the internet in the same other software they have the textures on, why?

[MrRocketboy]
