sorry, here's the pic:

i don't know what's wrong with my maya...
in the hypershade, i choose blinn, i'm putting a file, and in the UV texture editor i can't see the photo that i choosed...

i tried some tuts that i found but always stack in the part of puting the snapshot in the photoshop and back to maya...

i found everything, i could make it up to snapshot, and stack in the all thing with the photoshop and back to maya...

i did the banana with poly cylinder....not with nurbs...
and yes, i want to make a fruit bowl, i already learned to make the bowl...preaty easy...;)



i treid to do it to but couldn't make it...

i can't find the 'Edit Polygons' anywhere...in maya 8.5
i even don't have 'Modeling mode' there :confused:

how i do it?

well, i have a progress...
i think it's pretty good...
but how i make it look like a real banana [ you know, like a yellow one ] ?
and how i render it in maya 8.5?
