Complex UV Layout in Maya
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

How to change the label on this Beer Mug.

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 Youuser 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

Ok, So I am trying to replace one beer background in Photoshop (Beer 1 pic), with another beer logo (Bud Light pic). Then transfer the image onto the beer mug in Maya.


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.)
