Converting file to texture

Maya
1

I'm trying to convert a couple of PhongE textures (just color) to a texture file. My question is: Where does Maya spit the file to when its done converting?? I've searched my harddrive for the .tga that it was supposed to give me but I come out w/ nothing. How do I even know that it's working?? Any help would be appreciated.

Normally it puts it itn he sourceimages folder in you rproject directory. If you have not set a directory it will use the default directory in your user folder. Also I think Maya only saves iff files in this case so if you've been searching for targa you won't find it.

Thanks for the speedy answer! I looked for .iff's and still nothing... There's nothing that tells me that Maya is even outputting anything, so I'm not quite sure that I'm doing it correctly.

There is a dropdown menu under the CTFT Options where you can choose to output as an iff or a tga... so I'm not sure what the problem is exactly.

I've tried selecting just one node and then several and I'm still getting nothing. (

Is it the type of material that I'm using? Is maya just unable to convert a PhongE node to a file texture?

Thanks again gmask!

You need to have a projected or procedural texture in there somewhere for it to have anything to do.. there is nothing to convert if it is just a phong shader.
