Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Ref Image

I am a new maya user doing the dog project and I can't get the image to show up on the plane.

I think this might be the problem:
user added image

I cant move the color bar up and I think that might be why it only turns out black.

You can't move the color slider up because there is a file texture assigned to it . . . Click on the arrow pointing into the box and it should take you to the screen where it shouws the file texture.

If you do not want the texture there, right click the word color and break the connection . . .

Make sure the image is assigned to the material and also make sure the material is assigned to the plane (right click on the plane, assign material, and select the appropriate one)
Once the material is assigned, hit the 6 key to view textures. You should see the image on the plane now.
