Poor Resolution of materials in viewport

coodude25 · Post by **coodude25** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 3:59 pm

Does anyone know how improve the resolutions of the textures in the viewport, because it would greatly help modeling if i could line up models with bitmaps, but the low resolution that it gives without rendering makes it very difficult. It would greatly help if there was a way that i could make a reference texture that showed up in the viewport at its original resolution.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

right click the viewport name and click "Texture Correction"

it greatly decreases system performance... but it'll do what you're asking it to do.

texture correction works, but it wont be full res, but its the best res u can get. srry man, but thats as good as these programs can do and frankly i hate it to.

but if it's the background, it will stay stationary when you move your model, because you're bound to zoom in on parts of the model for details, etc. i prefer creating a plane of the dimensoins of the bitmap, applying the bitmap to it, and using alt+x to make the model you're making transparent.

wen u zoom in wont in zoom in on the background it self? or by stationary do u mean, it wont zoom it or move?

not if you click match bitmap and lock pan/zoom
