This is my Python tool to ease the workflow between maya and photoshop.
It grabs the UV-map from maya and import it into photoshop and create a template for you depending on what map textures you desire.
when you're ready with all texture work the tool will automate the importing steps to maya and connect everything to a shader.
It also has a button to refresh all texture maps simultaneously ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Install python 2.6, it's included in the rar file.
2. Install the the python libs included in the rar-file (pywin32 and wxpython).
3. open usersetup.mel in \maya\[mayaversion]\scripts , if you dont have a usersetup.mel-file, create them.
4. Add these Three following lines to your usersetup.mel file:
commandPort -n ":7092" -echoOutput;
commandPort -n "localhost:7092" -echoOutput;
commandEcho -state off;
5. To use the tool, just double-click "Texturefriend.py".(maya has to be running!)
NOTE!: if "Echo all commands" are on, the tool wont work.
