I've finally got my new OS installed and so have installed Maya 2008 too. I opened up my current project and all of the .jpg texture files were unable to load (the error said something about not being able to convert the file to .iff).
I changed one of the files to .tif and it worked fine.
Is there an issue with Maya 2008 and .jpg image files? I've not read anything about it myself and thought that maybe one of you has encountered a similar issue.
It's not the end of the world but it is certainly going to cause a bit of a headache if I need to change all of the .jpg files!!
Just checked to make sure and its working fine, ive got 2 images attached to nurbs planes, just tried and attached it to a poly object to make sure that its working fine and it is??
I've just been having a play around and have found that it's only the .jpg images from my project that aren't working. and get this.... it's not all of them, only the ones that I have altered or created in Photoshop.
I know that I edited the JPEGs in PS (im running CS2). have you tried making a new JPEG in PS and just applying that? I dont think that theres any options that you could have changed??
ohh, i've got a cold so a bit sniffeley and a sore throat but otherwise pretty ok! Got my pants to stay up in the end, needed a constraint, so off to rendering now!
I've since found that it's only my project .jpg's that I backed up onto dvd that are having this problem.
I can take a .jpg from the web and it works fine, I can then alter it in PS and again it's fine, I can even create something new in PS and it works perfectly but none of the Photoshopped .jpg files that are on the dvd that I used to back up my final year project before I upgraded my OS to 64-bit flingin' flangin' work!
Oh well, I've got my project proposal to worry about for now, I rekon I'll be busy changing file types this weekend!!
Hope your cold gets better Steve and I'm glad you got your trousers to stay up!!
who'd have thunk that installing a new OS would raise so many questions!!
Well here's another one for you all to ponder....
I noticed that my hard drive space was diminishing rather quickly so I ran the Tune Up disk space explorer and was wondering whether anyone knows what the files that I've put in the red block are all about.
The ones in green are what I'd expect to see on my HD (programs, OS, various files etc) and they take up the amount of space I would expect to be used on my drive so far.
For example..... I took a look at the HD usage before I installed Flash and Dreamweaver, it was 188Gig available, after installation it showed 186Gig. I know that these shuld only take up about 120Meg between them not 2Gig.
Anyone know what this wonderful new feature in Vista is that is eating up my storage like it's food going out of fashion and if it's possible/wise to turn it off?
I recognize a few of them. The .msi file a Microsoft installer package, I think and data1.cab is a cabinet file. All of them look like temp files to me left over after installation. Does Vista have a disk clean up tool like XP? Running that should get rid of them.
C. P. U. Its not a big processor... Its a series of pipes!
If they are in a temp folder or something then its 'probaly' safe to delete them.
Anyways, the disk clean function in windows never really properly worked in my opinion. In XP and older I had to go into explorer, track down temp files and delete them myself.
