Texture blurry according to viewing angle

Kingblue

Hello guys, this is my first post.
I'm in the 3d industry since 2009.


Hope this is the right place to ask.
I'm doing a render with vray and Max 2012. The texture on my object appear blurry as long as I change the camera angle.

Look at this





I can't figure how to fix this.

Try turning off Texture Filtering in the Bitmap properties of your textures.

I'm not a VRay user so I don't know, but there might be a texture filtering setting in VRay too, to globally control that.

Aye, not a vray user either but it sounds exactly like anisotropic filtering. You get the same with mips in many engines unless you change the anisotropic settings in the shader.

Thanks guys. I found the solution. There was a parameter I never heard of. It's BLUR. It is under diffuse-->map. By default it is set to 1. Just drop it to 0,1. It's common parameter, anyway, not related to just vray. I think that overall it works against anisotropy, but I can't understand why it is set that way.
