How do I load my base diffuse to my character?

Hello, I've created a base diffuse texture map, normals map, and UV map for my model. Now I'm wondering, how do I load them all back onto my model?

Thanks for the help!

If I need to specify anything, please let me know.

load the texture map into the colour slot of the material you have chosen, the normal maps go into the bump map slot of that material. Hope this helps

I couldn't really figure out how to load it in, but I figured out you just had to click the checkered box next to "color" in the attribute editor and choose "file".

In the file node's attributes you can see the little folder icon next to `image name` attribute to browse for your texture.
