First create the UV map (VERY IMPORTANT), then in hypershade with the object selected, select edit-->create PSD texture. Select the layer/channels you want to use. Default save location is the imagesource subfolder of your project folder.

UV's to PSD

I've done all of this, but I don't get all of those options for the attributes, the only thing that comes up is displacement. What do I need to do to get those options so that I can make my PSD file?

wow, four months to get a response... I didn't even remember posting the screen shot :0

Anyway, I haven't been able to duplicate your proplem yet. Was there a texture or a modified shader already attached to the mesh? That may be over-riding the create to PSD options. If this is the case, just reassign the default shader and try to create the PSD again to see if the options are there.

I'll check back with you in October to see if it worked. user added image

LOL! I'm not the same guy, I was searching on the same problem.
I think I already tried using a plain blin shader. My Character is made up of 4 seperate parts, maybe this is causing some problem, I was only trying to do one part at a time though. Maybe if I export into separate files it will work. :headbang:

I hope I won't have to wait until october for more help if I need it. user added image

Ok, well I separated the peices, and they were also SubD so I converted them back to polygon, and moved the UV for each part in it's own file and own 0-1 space. Now it works! :attn:
