     tExtractor is a Maya plug-in that allows one to unwrap the UV coordinates 
     of selected polygons and output the results as an image file. This 
     image can then be applied to those faces as a perfectly aligning texture 
     map. 
     

Installation Instructions

     Place the files tExtractor.mll and outragelogo.bmp into the 
     \AW\Maya2.5\bin\plug-ins directory. In Maya, start the plug-in manager 
     from the Windows/General Editors menu. Toggle the 'loaded' box beside
     tExtractor.mll so that it is set to ON.


Usage

    1) On a polygonal object, select one or more faces that have UV
       coordinates applied. 
    2) Type "tExtractor" on the command line and press Enter.
    3) Specify the size of your output image and a file location. After 
       setting these parameters to your liking, select save.

     You will now have a 2D image ready to paint in your favorite 2D package. 

     Note: tExtractor will only work on the face level. When working with a
     full object, use Maya's Convert Selection to Faces.
