Texture blurry far away, no compresion

[jtk77]

Hey guys check this out.. I have a pic of the texture close up, and a shot of the work in progress far away. Notice how blurry the features on the texture get. I have turned off all compresion for the texture materials themselves. Am I missing something to make these crisp? The textures are 1024x1024 and this is for NTSC so I have never run across an issue with using these file sizes. Should I have used bigger ones, though up close its perfect, or is there somthing else causing this?

see what I mean? Check out the gangsters face. Normaly I guess I'd have never noticed but I wanted to see the text and the pic clear as I came in on it.

Do you have post blur enabled in the render globals? Did you turn off the the 2dfile node filter?

[jtk77]

nope, no motion blur and yes the 2d filters are completely off. I sure did. I think its the multi Pixel Filter or something to do with it, if I turn it off the effct is far less but then I worry about a bad render without it, like swimming..
I wish I had more control with it, maybe I need to mess with the Pixel X and Pixel y of it ? But other than that I can't figure it out.

I was talking about he multi pixel blur int he render globals not motion blur.. TO avoid swimmign you can increase the shader samples for those objects and turn on the SS overrid in the attribute editor of the matchbook.

ahh, very cool thanks. I knew there were hidden settings, I'll just do these as a seperate render.
I will try that.
