So, this is a bought model. I am trying to change the label from the current one (shown in pic), to a Bud light Logo. This is not a NURBS model...this seems to be important, since it tells me that when I try to put the Bud logo on and move it around via the 2d texture "Interactive Placement" I get some sort of error there.

The guy who did this seemed to use a shadow layer, then two other shadow masks all with the same image. If someone could tell me how to change this label it would really help me out. Thank You user added image

Find the image that was used for this label and change it in photoshop, its that simple user added image

If you don't know where to find the image file you can go to the Hypershade, find the material that was used, right click - graph network and find the image file used for this material

Anyone know how to do this, I am sort of a newbie with PS.

Size up your new image so that it just covers the old image. (That way it will be in the correct place when you load it in Maya). Save it as a jpeg or whatever the original file was.

Then you'll need to go to the image file node in Maya and hit the reload button to refresh the image in maya. (If you change the name of the file you'll need to browse and find it instead.)
