Problem Applying Texture
If I didn't explain it properly, let me know and I'll try to explain it differently.

Edit: Just did it again using the UV as the bottom layer and creating layers on top of it, but still no luck. I must be doing something different from the first time but I don't know what.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean the UV layer that appears when you right click the giraffe and the choice to switch to UVs, vertexs, etc., pops up? I don't think I ever had that on if that is what you're talking about.Originally posted by jsprogg
Just a suggestion , but did you remember to turn the UV layer off when saving it out ?

No, I didn't. How do I do that? And does that make a difference? Because I remember watching a McKinley tutorial and I don't remember him turning the UV layer off (of course I likely could have missed it).Originally posted by jsprogg
I mean in Photoshop , once you have created your texture .Before you save it to load back into Maya, did you remember to turn the UV layer off to be not visible as you said you set it to screen.
Once again, how would I turn the UV layer off?

EDIT: Ok, tried that out by placing the layer with my drawing on it (just a few quick paint lines for testing) above the layer with the UVs on it (I changed the UV section from a background to a layer) and turned the UV layer off or invisible by clicking the eye. Now, when I apply it to the giraffe, instead of showing the rest of the UVs with the paint on them, I only see the paint (but still in the small size that I saw it as before).

EDIT: Bah, it won't apply because the file is too large, probably because of the texture. Is there any way that I can decrease the file size from 460 (approx) KB to about 220 KB (the max size on these forums)?

Ah, you smart manOriginally posted by t1ck135
If you want a smaller file size then maybe try zipping it up?
All this time with WinRAR and I never think to actually ZIP a file instead of just unZipping them.Anyways, here is the file showing my problem as described above.
