A simple tool to auto update your file nodes in Maya using Photoshop. This tool works with tga, jpg, psd, etc.. The basic idea is to load a texture file (or multiple texture files) in Photoshop hit F12 (
watch the video tutorial) and
skadoosh your texture is updated in Maya. This tool is useful for the Static, Character, Environment, Weapon, and Vehicle Team.
Instructions:
1. Append the code below in your C:\Users\XXX\Documents\maya\2010\scripts\userSetup.mel
// CODE
string $portName = "localHost:10001";
if( !`commandPort -q $portName` )
{
catch( `commandPort -n $portName` );
}

2. Extract MayaPort.bat and MayaPort.exe in C:/
** If you extract these two files somewhere else the javascript
is not going to work, because it's hard-coded. **

3. Extract UpdateTexture.js and nnUpdateTexture.mel in:
C:\Users\XXX\Documents\maya\2010\scripts

4. Open Photoshop and create an action script (watch the video tutorial).
