Hi,

I am trying to UV map some faces according to a bitmap content template. Each face needs to be a certain amount of pixels.

In 3ds max I can set the background texture to be this template and snap to pixels easily.&nbsp;

Did you turn texture filtering off for the file node, and the set the shader itself to nearest neibour filter
