Take a look. I'm thinking it has something to do with memory. Anywho, here is what it looks like in OPS...
And in game...

Aladar,In the top pic the lines are totally UNsharp. You want to use a high res image to Tmap with. You need very sharp and clear lines otherwise you end up with a very blurred texture in the game (as seen in the lower pic). I've been fighting this for a long time but finally "think" I've got it figured out. Start with a 256x256 square and paint it up as clear as you can, then save it. Don't resize the thing, just save it as yourplane.tif and then try it in SDOE. This is how the Jugg was done (I believe) and looks very sharp. As a test you could also Tmap a plane with a 512x512 map and don't resize it, leave it that large and see if it's any better. Just some things to try for ya. Oh, also be sure texture detail is cranked up full in SDOE's options. [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 09-21-2000).] IP: Logged |

So, what your saying is that the top pic isn't smoothed? Should I redo the wing tiff bigger? I am comming up on the most hated part of building planes.... THE GLASS!!! IP: Logged |

For some reason it says the width and heigth is 64x64. I swore it was a rectangle, and it also says distance is 0.IP: Logged |

From what I remember of textures, SDOE will re-size your rectangle into a square. Could be your rectangle is getting squished into square shapes too. If it's 64 wide, then 64 x 64 may be SDOE's best approximation.I always keep my textures square just in case... IP: Logged |

JT helped me fix my bomb mapping problem, so i figured i'd help you. The tif that you use MUST be square.  as you can see the bombs look 30 times better. I used a 128x128 tif but only used half of it. I used the other half for the Mavericks (not updated yet) so they would still be the size i needed them to be. ------------------

Textures do not need to be square to look good, but it makes mapping much easier, in AC3D at least. SDOE will stretch them to make them square, so it might certainly make the image look worse depending on the texture size. For a long thin shape (like the Zeppelin shadow), you can use a rectangle like 128x256 and then set the texture size to 128x128. Now just make sure you map it correctly. If you want 256x256 quality then you would need to use a 256x512 texture, see? The best thing for quality and effeciancy is to just make the tesxture the shape it should be, then squish it into a square yourself. This is good, but it makes it much harder for other people to update your textures - it is better to keep skins non-distorted for easy customization.------------------
