Hello,

I am having trouble opening my normal map in Maya.

// Warning: Failed to open texture file C:/Documents and Settings/jcheun/Desktop/pear.exr

Hopefully someone out there can give me a hand.

Thank you,

Jeff

Oglu is correct
Also you dont need EXR to have normal map, normal map is 8 bit
look at this video
