This is a script for Maya 2017 and Maya 2018 for use with RenderMan for Maya 22.0 onward.
This script functions with RenderMan for Maya 21.0 onward and Maya 2016; however, complete automation is not guaranteed.
This script allows users to generate and populate popularly used channels on PxrSurface or PxrLayer materials. With its UI, users can select file location as well as advanced options, such as specular model types and normal map direction.
This is for artistic metallic objects: hard opaque plastics, soft rubbers, clothing, cutlery, etc.

- Added error codes
- Broke up UI into channels
- Added PxrLayer functionality
