SOLVED: My textures in 3do look low res when I zoom in.

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

I am having trouble getting my textures to not look so pixelated in 3do. I have played around with the texel density but I am not sure I am doing it right. I have been reading a lot about texel density and I think I know what it is. But maybe texel density isn't the issue. I hope someone can help.

Is this after you re-render in high res? if the default resolution isn't very high or you haven't rendered it high res, it might be the preview icons which are tiny.

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

Yeah I start out my porject at 100% resolution. Do I have to rerender it in full resolution? My maps when I started this project are 4k.

HostileGForce · Oct 2014

Wouldn't hurt. That should be large enough for sure. Are you using dDo materials or your own?

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

I am using the ddo materials. Would the texel density have anything to do with it.

HostileGForce · Oct 2014

The dDo materials have a good size to them, the only other reason I could think of would be your UV's not having enough resolution for the model.

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

Thats wierd because my uv's seem fine. Here is what they look like. I will look into this more though.

huh, idk. Looks good to me too

Hi XemnasKH,

Thanks for you question. It can definitely be a texel density issue if the value is set too high. What is your currently value? 2048 px/m would be the maximum value recommended for 4K, anything above that may produce blurry results. A screenshot of the issue would help to figure out what's wrong!

Sorry for the late reply, but here is what I am talking about. My textures look bad close up. Texel Density is set to 2048 in ddo. Maybe I am not understanding texel density right. I am using max so is there something I have to do in max to have be set right. If someone could let me know that would be awesome.

Hi XemanasKH!

May i ask what the resolution of your input maps are?

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

My maps are 4k

Eric Ramberg · Oct 2014

Could i trouble you to zip your project and upload it so i can have a look?

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

I will do that as soon as I get home from work. Plus I don't know if it would be something with my computer because we are using ddo here at my job and I imported the exact same specs for this project I am working on, (4k textures, texel density is set at 1024) and these look fine here. Just a thought though.

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

Where do I upload my project?

Eric Ramberg · Oct 2014

XemnasKH you can upload it to your host of choice, just as long as I can download it and check it out!

XemnasKH · Oct 2014

I am also just going to uninstall and then reinstall it to see if that has anything to do with it.

XemnasKH · Nov 2014

Hey Eric, I was wondering if you have had a chance to look at my project files at all.

teddybergsman · Nov 2014

Thank you XemnasKH,

We have now fixed a bug that caused the Albedo map to be loaded in as texture information in the Normal map layers on some versions of Photoshop (CS5.1 for instance). By the looks of your project this was the issue you were experiencing. I will upload the new 1.7c preview build shortly and let you know once it is up for testing.

Thanks again,
- Teddy

XemnasKH · Nov 2014

Thankyou Teddy. I look forward to this next build to test this out.

Hi there!
Same happens to me with 1.8
could you tell me if your problem persisted after updating?
This is a bit frustrating when you have those pixelated images.

Eric Ramberg · Dec 2014

cosmos could you provide some info on your project Resolution/texeldesity and post a screen, I will try to help you!
