Saving a color palette in maya 2012
polycounter lvl 18
hey guys,
Using the paint vertex color tool i double click on the color value to bring up the color swatch.
Under color palette i can create new color swatches with RGB, however when i click save it does not give me a set files of type instead it just says All Files.
Is there a prefix for saving a color pallete or something i am doing incorrect?
I basically have a list of rgb colors that i am to use for vertex lighting and other artists at my work will need them to at some point.Rather than them having to copy the notepad rgb's i am trying to save a color palette that they can load with the colors already in the pallete added.
Thanks

Double click the "color value" swatch to pull up the color history window
Expand the color palettes window (at the bottom)
Expand the "Default" drop down menu and select "new"
Save a new blank palette
Select a color in the top left using the ring, spectrum, image or blend
Select a blank tile in your new color palette (down below)
Right click the color swatch in the top left to send the color to the blank tile
Click "Save..." and you should be good to go.
I was able to switch between the default and my new custom palette using this method.
