Maya 2008 Render Problems With Psd Texture

[robadams209]

Hi,

I'm using Maya 2008 Ext 2 on XP 32 bit with an Adobe Photoshop CS3 psd file for texture. I've created the PSD network and done the editing in Photoshop. Set up UVs etc.

Back in Maya, when I 'render' in the perspective view (hit 6) the texture is perfect, it even updates if I edit in Photoshop.

However, when I try to do a full render to an iff file I get weird problems:

Maya software just gives out garbage, correct texturs colors etc, just trash.
IPR the same.
Mental Ray finds the psd file, but reports that the texture is not an image file and fails.

Anyone any suggestions welcome,

Thanks,
Rob

Check to see that maximum compatibility is checked in Photoshop. I've not had problems with CS3 and 2008, but there are some PSD modes, filters and layer effects that Maya doesn't want to see.

Thanks for the help.

I have set for max compatibility........ I'm trying a simple single color texture file now and building up.

That did it.

Somehow the PSD file must have got corrupted. The new one works perfectly.

Hi I have the same trouble with the psd textures, Do you redo the texture in cs3 or just save as.. or copy the project into a new one
