Saving render outputs to a single psd?

Olli.

I just had an idea, and i really hope someone has had the same idea before and created a script for it.

so yeah, It would be INSANELY useful if you could save all the renderoutputs to a single .psd file (and possibly even open that automatically in photoshop)

a lot of times im baking my high poly and i might have up to 5 render to texture outputs, and it would be just the best thing if i could save all those in to a single .psd file instead of having to clutter my HDD with millions upon millions of tga files

I don't think you'd be able to access layers in .psd files from scripts outside of PS.
It would be possible to write a script which saves to .tga, opens PS, opens each .tga in separate layers, deletes .tga files and asks you to save the .psd.
Not sure how to send the information from python to java script though..
But I guess you could tell python to start an autohotkey script which handles that.

Anyway, pretty useful idea Olli - I might look into it (no promises)!

What about packstube? http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125244&highlight=xnormal+batch

Packstube has this functionality i believe and so does one by funky bunnies. Also maybe trebor's xnormal batch program does it too. I have one written in maxscript just havent been bothered to clean it up as it kinda was my first big maxscript project.

@joakim: Just run photoshop as a subprocess and pass a jsx script as an argument. Photoshop will run that when it starts up. Something like this in console:

Photoshop.exe C:\\Users\\alistair.braz\\Desktop\\hello.js"
