Hi everyone, I'm pretty new at this and I have a question about the way my texture maps are rendering.
The problem: My Textures are made of many stacked screens that show a lot of minute detail - the detail of the texture isn't rendering clearly - it looks low-res.
My maps: I'm using png files that are 300dpi - basically 1800 x 600 px in dimension.
the textures look crisp in the viewport when hardware texturing is turned on. I am rendering using mental ray with very high quality settings. I'm mapping them on polygonal surfaces using phong E material.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or what i could do to fix this problem? Is there a setting i need to adjust or a different method of mapping my textures?
Thanks for your time. Any help is greatly appreciated! (and necessary because of a deadline tomorrow). Thanks!
