On this page I will show you how to use the UV Texture Editor to manipulate UV's and bring the 2D image of your 3D model into photoshop to paint your own type of texture.

• First select the Faces you will want to texture. Then apply a UV Mapping procedure. For this I will use cylindrical.

• Now open the UV Texture Editor. To do this go to Window->UV Texture Editor and open it up.
• You might have to scale it down but you need the UV's to fit inside the grey box.
• Once you have fit it into the grey box take a snapshot of it by going to Polygons->UV Snapshot and save it as a Tiff or Targa.

• Your saved file will have a black background as seen to the right.
• Now you can paint these UV's
• To do this create a new layer in Photoshop and paint on that layer and then turn off the layer with the UV's and save it.
• Now import it into Maya into Hypershade and choose your face quick select set and apply the texture. Now your character will have a line across his face.
