Snapshot don't save texture?

[introbuck]

Hi, i have an issue with snapshot. I don't know if it "feature" of Maya but when i snapshot that unwrapped box with texture on it the output jpeg file displays only black color, like on screenshot. It is so, how can i export image file so i can make some adjustments in photoshop?

Hi!

That's correct.

You need to open your image texture as usual in Photoshop and then you can import and overlay the exported UV map.

So if i understand right it's impossible to export that shapshot jpeg image from maya so it can display the texture on it? Because in UV editor i clearly see texture.

Hi!

Correct.

It's a UV snapshot, so it's only a snapshot of the UVs and nothing else.

If you want a screenshot from the UV Editor that also shows the texture, than you can

- use a simple screenshot feature from the OS or any other software,

- or use

textureWindow -e -capture "fileName" panelName;
