Overview of Maya IFF
 
 
 

Maya outputs images in the Interchange File Format (IFF). IFF is a generic structured file access mechanism, and is not limited to images - for example, AIFF files are audio IFF. IFF images can have 8 or 16 bit per channel RGB, and optionally Alpha, and can optionally contain a 32-bit floating point depth map (sometimes called a Z-buffer).
