In class we learnt how to texture in Maya. We learnt how create lamberts and create and apply textures/colours. We also learnt how to use the UV editor tool, this was easy for me as I already had experience in using the tool in maya. We used it to create a cadbury's chocolate bar.
Using the UV Editor we could lay out the faces on top of the image to create a working texture with parts where they would be on the shape as if it was cut out of paper and folded.
For some reason I couldn't find where I did this on my computer, so apologies for the missing images and content.
