hi !

i'd like to create D-maps from modeled geometry directly in maya, so i am searching for a few hints.

i'd like to script a little something that directly exports an image file from all elements inside the «rendered» area.

one important question:
could those images be exported in 16/32 bit format directly from maya as .hdr or floating point tif ?

thanks for any input here. i guess this could be a handy tool !

well... i have already found one simplistic way/idea ... maybe this will work

*script* *script* *script*

the approach is basically a Z-Pass, but useful anyway !
