I get this error when I try and put a .jpg or .tiff texture file onto a shader in maya.

// Error: Image conversion (to IFF) failed //

Any reason why this is happening? I've never had this happen to me before. I've attatched files to shaders so many times before and this error message has never came up ?? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. :shrug:

Well it worked fine once I used a targa file. Weird. Anyways I have another question about swatches but I'll start a new thread for that. Will maya not take jpg's or tiff files?? I could'a sworn it did.(at least in 4.0) ?!?

Always worked fine for me. What are you using to make the jpg and tiff files? If it's photoshop 7, are you making sure to save a copy and not include the layers as that'll be sure to bugger it up (i'd imagine)

If you use .jpg files then make sure that they are not progressive
