Maya tutorial/Evaluation

Now that the textures has been made in photoshop, I can now look into how to put theses textures object in maya which hopefully should not be too difficult to do but will most likely take a while to do  because I dont work a lot in Maya...I have only done basic modelling and some animation which I will do for this project also.

I have been looking at a few tutorials online and the best one I came across was this one...

I will learn the basics and use this to texture the structures later in our project once who structures have been modelled. I am very pleased with how this unit has gone, the progression of learning a new subject (metal) in depth is very rewarding as I can confidently painting and soon will be able to texture the material. Learning the basics is really vital then to express myself and explore within that area is my favourite part also the progress or journey that it takes to reach the final outcome, I find more interesting than the final outcome its self. Learning how to paint and texture this metal will be invaluable for me not only for my 2 final projects but also for my future paintings.
