Maya 2016 mentalray, can´t find final gather map

Pymse

Hi

I want Maya to save out a fg map for me to use for further frames. The autodesk knowledge network states: By default the file is saved into the current project's mentalRay\finalgMap directory.

I have set the project, I render a fg pass, but when I take a peek into the folder there is no fg file to be seen.  I have also looked in the default directory. But it´s nowhere. 

So I can´t enter what file to use for further renderings because I can´t find it.

Does anyone know what is up?

Edit: oops that was for 3ds Max.

Seems like this might be covered in the Maya 2016 help file.

It may have been dropped into renders/tmp/.

And did you check the legacy options to enable it? AD Tried to make render settings "easier" but I think they made a mess of trying to troubleshoot it now. Like, I'm not even sure where to start with asking about your setup at this point (new layers, old layers, no layers...).

Thanks I read the help file a couple of times, it isn´t that clear to me. I figured it out through video. You´re just supposed to write out whatever you want to call the file in the box. I thought I had to specify a directory pointing to an existing file.
