Christopher Murphy, 29, was found guilty of making or allowing indecent photographs to be taken at an address in Moorhouse Street.
He was also found guilty of having indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children in his possession at the same address when he appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court on Thursday.
Murphy went on trial in February, accused of making or taking and having possession of indecent pictures of children.
Murphy, who was last living at a homeless unit in Barrhead, committed the offence of allowing to be taken or making indecent or pseudo photographs of children between September 24, 2011 and March 24, 2014 at the address in Moorhouse Street.
His second offence, of having indecent photographs or pseudo-photographs of children in his possession, happened between March 24, 2013 and March 24, 2014.
Murphy was placed on the sex offenders register, given a 300 hour community payback order and will be supervised for three years.
