I’m fairly new to Maya, and I’m having difficulty creating a texture to paint on. I have a NURBS object with a ramp assigned to it. When I click on the object and open the 3d paint tool, I scroll down to Assign/Edit Textures. Once I click on that and select my settings (1024x1024, maya iff), I get the following error:

// Error: Failed to open IFF file for writing : C:/Users/KYLECA~1/AppData/Local/Temp/maya3dPaint_458/engineLeft_Pod_Racer_2:engineA_Pod_Racer_2:engineAShape_color.iff

I have no clue what that means...I opened that directory and there are no files in it. I thought that all my files should be saved in my project folder? Anyway...any help would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Filenames can’t have semicolons, that’s why Maya can’t write the file.
