Chiss Lord Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 OK, I've got my model done, I go to skin it, and everything comes out completely out of porportions. (Messy!) How can I figure out how big (pixels) an object is unwrapped? My previous models were all solid materials so this has never been a problem before. Thanks. Oh, and I'm using Milkshape.

sithlord-II Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 textures must be in multiples of 64 i usually stick to minimum 128x128 up to around 512x512, but you can go to combination sizes, like 1024x512, etc so long as its all a multiple of 64, i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentMobius Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 Firstly texture sizes need to be on the power of two boundry (binary progression) 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024 (specific cards may have other limitations) secondly the mapping between polygon and texture is usally done on the scale 0 to 1 which is then scalled to _whatever_ the textures max/min coords are. Just to check you _are_ doing a UVW unwrap and then designing your skin based on that layout aren't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiss Lord Posted June 29, 2002 Author Share Posted June 29, 2002 UVW unwrap? I have no idea what that is except it sounds like that's what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentMobius Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 Right then, thats a big subject all by itself, check on http://www.polycount.com for UVW tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
