Missing 3D Textures from Appearance Tab

Greetings,

I am running Solidworks for Makers 2026 and want to add 3D textures to a model. I know I need to apply the grayscale image from the appearance tab/misc/3D Textures but there is nothing present. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled...Verified that I have the correct version...Tried mapping the file location but nothing is in there. 

 

Can anyone help me out on this as I am at a total loss what I am doing wrong.

I went as far as enabling every addin thinking that I was missing something but no change.
