Items available from the Paint Layers window ( ) menu.

New Layer

  Creates a new layer directly above the selected layer.

Delete Selected

  Deletes the selected layer.

Duplicate Selected

  Makes an identical copy of the selected layer. The duplicate layer is inserted directly above the selected layer.

Refresh Selected

  Updates the information on the selected paint layer to take into account edits/updates that have occurred to the texture image outside of Mudbox. For example, if an image is edited using Photoshop, then saved while that image is referenced in the current Mudbox working session, the paint layer associated with the edited image can be refreshed to bring those edits back. Whenever a paint layer is modified within Mudbox since the last file save, a warning message is displayed prior to executing the layer refresh as a reminder of the possibility of overwriting any unsaved paint edits.

Merge Visible

  Combines the visible paint layers into a single merge layer and then deletes them. For more information, see Merge paint layers.

Import Layer

  Imports a bitmap image from disk and applies it to a paint layer.

Export Selected

  Saves the selected layer as a bitmap image to disk. File formats include: .psd, png, bmp, tif, gif, jpg, tga, and OpenEXR. Exporting using the .psd format provides additional interoperability for creating and editing paint layers in Photoshop. For more information, see Create and edit paint layers using Photoshop.
