orthograph res and stretching problem
polycounter lvl 12
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
ive tryed looking for some kind of auto placement, increasing the geo in the panels shrinking them in photoshop but it still squishes my orthos and has them in a low res. I worked hard on those things so I want to be able to see them in full detail.
Thanks, Any help apreciated!

some powers of 2 are.... 2, 4, 8 ,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048 and so on
load it back into max. disable the cropping/placement stuff and apply it to a plane that has the same aspect ratio as the image
if the image is not a power of 2 size, max will resize it internally so that it is - which naturally screws everything up.
Then make sure your driver is displaying higher resolution. Customize>Preferences... Viewports tab>Configure Driver...>
oh... um... 2012 is different now for me. I can't click on that button.
Well the next step was to choose the highest resolution settings and check the match bitmap as close as possible options.
If you can do that, it should fix your reference image. If not, reopen your material editor.
did this, its still low res...im going to try and erase the material and reassign it.
512 wide
1020 high
I was thinking there might have been a difference in my unit configs for max and the power of 2 I set the photoshop document as. Sorry I would look this up myself but google times out untill tomorrow when my internet plan rolls over.
that's your problem
512x1024 will work
units etc in max will have no effect at all . the only important thing is the pixel dimensions of the image.

I think when I ws messing around with the settings I clicked apply and that must have updated the viewport. Awsome, special thanks to poopipe and Ken Benson!
