Maya .iff support

[flat]

The priority of Maya .iff image format support?
It is useful that the past assets can be used as it is.

We do not know anything about that format; if there's a public description somewhere, can you point us to it?

Best regards,

What is the advantage to use .iff ?

[flat]

It is use of an old asset. There is a request from my customer.
What is necessary is to do batch conversion of IFF and just to convert a path using scripts.
But all customers are not skillful.
It is also useful that V-Ray can read IFF.

[vlado]

The page that you posted does not describe the IFF file format itself; it says that we need to link V-Ray to some Maya libraries which I don't really want to do... I will ask on the ADN if we can read the format directly.

Best regards,
