Maya - low resolution viewport textures

Snowfly

How do you keep layered textures from appearing pixelated in the viewport? The resolution is fine on standard shaders, but becomes extremely pixelated when I slap in on a layered texture or shader.

Here's a comparison on three setups using the same source image file and file node.

Open the attributes for your lambert material and go to the rollout for Hardware Texturing. Change the Texture resolution to Highest 256x256.

Open up the shader ball that is created when you apply our layer shader to an object. Expand the hardware texturing tab, change the texture resolution from default to highest. If this is still not high enough you can then open the extra attributes tab of your layer, be warned adjusting the layer shader in real time has massive loads when set above 256x256.
