File output location

 
 
 

By default, Maya saves rendered images to the images directory of the current project. You can, however, change the location to save in any directory.

To set the file output location, see Set rendered images output location.

NoteIf you are rendering images with a mask or depth channel and the file format of rendered images does not support mask or depth channels, Maya may save the mask channel as a separate file in the mask directory of the current project, and the depth channel as a separate file in the depth directory of the current project.

The IFF and RLA file formats can hold mask and depth channel information. For more information regarding the treatment of mask and depth channels by various file formats, see Supported file formats.
