Maya UV map exporting help

SeanWink

Hello I am new to Maya. Can someone explain to me the process of exporting a UV map to photoshop? I have already created UVs for my object but when I use snapshot to export the image as PNG nothing shows in Photoshop. I dont believe my object has a material/ material ID ether

By default your object will have Lambert material applied to it.

Can you show image of the settings for your UV snapshot? And the full UV editor screen too.

In UV area settings, try setting to 0 and 1. U = 0, and V = 1. 

If that doesn't work try setting both to zero. I am not sure what the start point is but you may have been rendering image from starting point of 1,1, which would be empty since you are working in quadrant beginning at 0,0.

Your UV layout is massive, so there isn't much to show. Each dark border represents the size of one image (aka one whole UV unit). Scale your shells down to 0-1 space then try again. This space is the box up/right from the center.

Thanks you all, It turns out that the UV was too massive and I had to scale it down like throttle said.
