Create PSD Network Options

 
 
 

To open the Create PSD Network Options, select Texturing > Create PSD Network in the Rendering menu set.

Image Name

Type the name of the Adobe Photoshop file you will be painting. By default, Maya uses the scene name and model name.

Size X

Sets the horizontal resolution in pixels.

Size Y

Sets the vertical resolution in pixels.

Keep Aspect Ratio

Constrains the proportions of the X and Y resolution. That is, if you move the X slider, the Y slider moves an equal distance.

Include UV Snapshot

Creates a UV snapshot as a guideline to help you paint with a greater degree of accuracy in Adobe Photoshop.

Position Top/Bottom

Determines whether the UV layer is created at the top or at the bottom of the layer stack in Adobe Photoshop.

UV Set

Specifies which UV Set to use for the UV Snapshot.

Color Value

Specifies the color to be used for the UV mesh in the snapshot image.

Anti-alias Lines

Specifies whether or not the lines forming the UV mesh in the snapshot image are anti-aliased. Anti-aliased lines appear smoother, but extend over more than one pixel with varying opacity.

Attributes, Selected Attributes

Choose from this list of default Attributes for the material. (If you want more advanced options, turn on Detailed Attribute List.)

Selected attributes in the Selected Attributes list represent the channels to be painted. When you open the PSD file in Adobe Photoshop, each attributes listed here appears as a layer set.

The following table shows the default available channels that correspond to the layer sets that are created when you create the PSD file.
