Need help with custom model

[Shadowfied]

But if I put the .dae file in an empty folder it automatically creates a .mat file called "mug_texture_test4_flat.mat"...

Edit: And that's why I in the first place opened that .MAT file in the Material Editor and ticked the diffuse button and added the correct texture just like the guide on "your first maya model" said.

So the wood seems to work, it's just the metal-border thing..

Fix the normals like I described above and make sure the texture is correct. If needed, I can try to fix it up for you.

may I ask what the "ECC" is for?

Yeah first of, I do not have ANY knowledge in Maya whatsoever. My friend has created the mug and everything. (Well..not CREATED the textures) so there's not much I can check or do myself.

If you could try to fix it and then explain to me what the problem was (if you can solve it) I would be very very grateful cause I've really been having problems with this.

ECC is eccentricity. He just included it.

Can I send you the files so you can take a look?
