Hi everyone,

I don't know if this is the right forum to make this question, but: Is there any way to archive hi-quality texture rendering with 3d game studio. I've try textures as large as 1024x1024 and still not good enough.

Can anyone share a tip?

Thank you in advance.

1024² not good enough for what? 1024² should be more than enough for an good quality!
For example, i use one 2048² Texture for more than 6 Objects ( 6 different Textures in this file) and the quality is good enough.
Do you used an NRM Shader with your Textures? This will have an sharpening effect on the Object.

Hm, I have got 25 weapons in my game, if I would use 2048^2 textures in tga, my game would simply lag on 20 fps
They are dds in mostly 1024^2 because the quality difference isnt that high, but the perfomance difference is!

Thank you for your replies. rvL_eXile, sorry to ask but what's NRM Shader? I've try the shader library that comes with 3d game studio by default without good success.
My textures are mostly 1024^2 but they look blurry. I'm still figuring out what could be the reason, maybe my video card?

what fileformat is it?

".BMP" . What would you recommend?

tga or dds for both transparent and non-transparent textures.

OK. I'll give it a try and I'll let you know. Thank you guys!

NRM = Normalmapping Shader
Where do you get your Textures from?
I use CGTextures.com with premium account to gett all tilable Textures in an higher Size.

I'm using .tga only, cuz dds is a bit blurry but have an smaller File Size than tga.

Regards Sebastian

Check out the 3DGamestudio manual on the various different image formats. If I remember correctly, BMP and JPEG are not recommended formats; use TGA for high quality textures or DDS for mid quality textures.
