3dsMax: Texture Resolution Inconsistencies.

Incomitatum

Since I am learning modular design for Max and UDK, I am moving some of my old textures to a texture Atlas, so I can start extruding my blocks.

For modular shapes, I have a brick textures (512x512) that I have been experimenting with, it's on a 192x192x16 wall.

The problem I am having. I took my block and put it next to my atlas for refresnce and... man, the texture on the wall is good, the same part of that texture on the plane next to it looks like crap!

Now, everything looks fine when I render, but I am going to need to see what I am doing so I can add edge loops to star modularing parts off this thing.

Any way to increase this?

Hopefully the many votes on their feature request-tracker for this issue will finally make them set it up like this by default!

renderhjs

they got enough shit going crazy with their release and lots of developers that wrote the code that do not work any more for them because the software is that old.

I did just as you said. I had to reopen the file, to get it to refresh, but it looks GREAT. Thank you!

renderhjs

it can be done faster, just go to your material manager open and close it ([m] key 2x) or click on the material and on another and back on the material to force a update on the preview in the viewport.
Like I said it has plenty of bugs
