You can render all layers to Adobe Photoshop (PSD) format.
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.
A PSD file is created during a render with each layer in your scene as a separate layer in this PSD file and with all blending modes specified as they were specified in the Maya file. When you open this file in Adobe Photoshop, each render layer in your Maya scene will have a corresponding layer and blend mode in the PSD.
The PSD file is rendered directly to the image directory of your project and not in a subdirectory.
To render to PSD layer file format
- In the
Common tab of the
Render Settings, select
PSD layered (psd) from the
Image Format list.
You can open the PSD file created in Adobe Photoshop.
