Textures Render Blurry

[user_deleted]

Ive got some textures that I found that are 3264 x 2448. When I try to render in maya and mental ray they always come out blurry. I have resized them to be multiples of 64 and played around with filter options but still always blurry. These are normal jpg images I found doing a google search. Is there any fundamental thing im missing about how to get textures to render properly?

no you are probably not doing anything wrong, but there are so many things that could be causing the blur. Just to make sure you are on the right page, try a few things:

1. Texture sizes should be sized to a multiple of 2 meaning 64px,128,256,512,1024,2048 etc, ex: 512x128, or 1024x64.
2. Save your file as a Maya IFF or other recommended format.
3. if you are using a shader with filtering, most maya materials, turn off filtering.
4. Try a mental ray render Quality Preset. Try Fine Trace.

Fine trace uses a triangle filter. Use a Mitchell instead. It will give you crisper textures.

Thanks for responses. I think it was just the images i was using for textures themselves. I found some others that render just fine. They are much higher native res though.
