Maya 101 - Fundamentals 05 - Textures and UVs

The Maya Toolbelt by Michael McKinley
This is the fifth part of my Fundamentals playlist! This video begins the conversation about texturing your models. There's a lot to cover, but this serves as a bit of an introduction to the concepts. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
I hope it is useful for all you beginners out there!

It would be awesome if you did a fundamentals for Maya going over problem geometry and how to fix it through the CleanUp tool.

my textures wont show up in uv editor unless i use the drop down and select them - if i click off the object i have to select them again - very annoying, any ideas?
