Transfered height maps in Maya

Steve Schulze

Hey guys. Quick question
The coder of the project I'm working on at the moment wants me to use height maps rather than normal maps for my models. Is there a way to export them as you might a normal map or any other - there doesn't appear to be an option to do so in the transfer maps dialogue.

warby

lighting/shading ---> transfer maps ---> outputmaps ---> click on "displace" icon (thats the same as a height map)

the icon looks like a spikey massage ball or an underwater mine its grey and the second from the left

also dont forget to uncheck any other output maps that might already be listed there

Ah, simple enough.

Tah.
