Maya .iff files support


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, i can't open .iff texture files from Maya in Affinity Photo, really need this possibility (photoshop can do that, i know). Do you have a plans to add support of this file format and when? thanks in advance!

Are Maya IFF files identical to the classic IFF files? If so, use IrfanView or another image viewer compatible with IFF files to convert to a format that Photo understands.

I doubt Affinity Photo is ever going to support IFF files.

thanks you your answer! it's pretty sad( the problem is that i can't convert IFF files to something else cuz i need to resave as .iff it after fixing, because autodesk maya uses only this file format for my purposes (working with hair in xgen)

Done some research online. Maya IFF files are not the same as the old IFF format, and may include 16bit and z-depth channels.

But why not use the converter utility that is shipped with Maya to convert from and to IFF?
