Maya IFF files....

[matt-sony]

Does anyone know of a document / webpage anywhere, which documents how the Maya Iff file format stores it's data?

I need to find out, because I'm writing a plugin and need to understand how to access the dat awithin them...

Hope that makes sense!

.iff file format can be load by using iffreader.cpp in
Maya4.0/devkit/plug-ins/iffreader.cpp(h).
These contents will be helpful even if it does not use this directly.

This spec is a good starting point to understand how the data is stored in an iff files:

There is also some information in Maya docs:
/docs/en_US/html/FileFormats/ImageFiles5.html#9978
