Note: A
new render setup system is available that replaces legacy render layers and is the
default system in Maya. This new approach simplifies the management of complex scenes for rendering and is now the recommended workflow. See
Render setup in Maya for more information.
The filename for the rendered image of each layer can be customized using the workflow as follows.
To name your render layers
- From the
Render Layer Editor, select the layer that you wish to name.
- Open the
Render Settings
window (Window > Rendering Editors > Render Settings).
- Click on the
Common tab. Under the File Output section, right-click the
File Name Prefix attribute and select
Create Layer Override.
- Enter the desired filename for the selected render layer.
After the image is rendered, the image output for the selected layer will be saved under the filename as entered.
