.png files that are generated when rendering

A few more notes about the other files that are generated during a rendering. If there is a formZ material used such as stripes that has a color channel and a bump channel, 2 png files will be generated during a rendering (one for the color and one for the bump). The are 512x512. I mention this because I really would like to not deal with these additional file. In my latest rendering, I have 15 or so to deal with. There are also opacity png files for every FormZ material set to a custom opacity. You can not move these support files and get a rendering out of Studio.

as far as i know this is a feature and these are generated formZ procedurals that otherwise wouldn´t show up in your maxwell rendering.
(as maxwell can´t use formZ procedurals (or any others for now))

I can confirm - these files are needed to be able to handle formZ procedurals in Maxwell.

Better solution than to store them in the same folder as MXS file though might be to store them in a separate sub-folder - that way they won't clutter the disk as much.
