texture changes in the main view, you can use the Secondary View to see changes.

Click on the Select View/Camera menu located at the top of your Secondary View
window and choose Front from the list of options. You now see the textured version
of your soda can.
If necessary, you can enlarge the size of the Secondary View by clicking and dragging

The Secondary View allows you to see changes to your 3D object in real time.
You'll notice that your texture is not wrapped correctly. The FizzyPop! text as well as
the image of the man need to be wrapped horizontally across the can. In order to get
this appearance, you'll edit the texture.
