How to choose texture size?

Jason-Lavoie · 15-11-2004, 12:42 AM

I still haven't figured this out, i have most of my Beowulf model unwraped (just need to do the head) and I still can't figure out how to chnage the texture size.

I want to test what it looks like etc, and I did, but it was nasty ass strtch big time. I want to make it either 512x512 or 1024x1025 (for body) but I just have NO clue how to do it

Please someone help me, I am using 3d max 7 as well

Also, how do I make 2 texture maps, for the head and body ?

hmm if i understand you right, its just a simple matter of unwrapping the model .. then taking a screenshot of the uvmap - or using texporter and choosing the size.

in photoshop when you are painting your textures you can then change the sizes of the image , using image size.- and whatever values.

you can use seperate maps for head and body by unwrapping the 2 sections seperately.
