Answered: Material Issue, loading in very tiny and tiled

wetojo

I'm having an issue with smart materials loading in as tiny pixelated tiles that fill my maps. I've tried different materials, Texel Densities, Resolutions and  models. Same issue. Seemed to work fine a few days ago. It was working okay the other day. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? See screenshot.

I have had this issue. I'm told it is a problem where you have 8192 and have reduced the texel density below 2048, but I have yet to nail it down to a specific. I think there is a bug where it is messing up the texel density drastically.

Yes, there is a bug right now that results in the document resolution numbers influence on the texel density being ignored and overridden by the resolution of your input maps. So, if you create a document in 4k for example, with a texel density of 2k, you would expect a texture to tile 2 times across both the Y and X axis (smart materials may vary). But if you add a 8k input map for this, the texel density will tile as if the output was also 8k and repeat 4 times with the same settings.

Glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue. Is this being addressed in an upcoming patch? Any known work arounds? I suppose I can try a clean reinstall if the problem persists.

@Billy Lundevall will this issue be addressed in this weekend's patch?  Thanks.

Hi again, I don't know if it has been patched. I have however pushed it again.

Regards, Billy.

Thank you. I've completely wiped my computer of Quixel, reinstalled. And tried the same thing with Photoshop and the whole of creative cloud. The issue persists, so I'm out of moves on my end.
