You people are all stupid. Making a higher res texture and shrinking it down doesn't improve it's quality. It worsens it.

Also, I'm not making a 1024 alpha blend map ontop of all the other 1024 architecture textures I have. Almost all the architecture textures are 1024 a piece. The cliff detail map I'm applying will be 1024x1024 and TILED. I want this map to play great on everyones PC's, and look great. Sometimes I have to make sacrifices.

Even still, the map will look a hell of a lot better than all the original Halo PC maps.

Because the map is so open, therefore making portaling quite ineffective, I can't smash up the res on everything. Compromise people!

Why make high-res architectural bitmaps, and then ignore the attention to cliffs?

And painting at true-resolution and then scaling down is a matter of opinion. If you can paint at true-res then do it. If your like me and do that, then resize it will look alot better. Skill, and Opinion.

That is completely stupid to paint at twice the res if you know your going to have it at half the res. Just paint the dam thing AT the res you are going to. ??????????

Also, what Con said. NO DETAIL MAPS YET MANG.

Dano be on aim tommorow, I need to talk to you when I get off work so be on around 7pm thats eastern time idk what time it be where u are.

Well that won't teach you anything mister Croccydoccy :mad:

Also, Terror, piss off.

Look how PS resizes pictures and you'll learn. It doesn't just delete unnecessary pixels.

Of course it doesn't delete them, it makes them all fucking smaller, therefore prone to more stretching when applied to the same surface as a higher res version.

Why on EARTH do you think a term called "hi resolution" exists?

Larger resolution textures with more pixels have more detail IF PAINTED SO. If you've painted a 1024 texture to be very detailed, and apply it to a surface, then you half the image size to 512, and view it on the same surface, notice how it looks worse?

If you paint a hi resolution texture and hope for the scaling down to improve your texture, your stupid.

Wasn't this common sense?

People need to stop being lazy and just paint at the same resolution as they intend and put the proper detail in. If they didn't put detail into spots on a hi res, how on earth do you think that it's going to invent detail for you out of nowhere in the exact same space, while shrinking it?

Really, wow.

Im a no0b, get off me... :(
