Texture resolution tips?

[Buraito]

Anyone got some tips to get higher resolution textures? I have set the max to 16k and max texture count to 5 yet I only seem to get 1 4k texture which loses a lot of detail of the photos...
Thanks

Your photos are most likely not detailed enough or too far from the object to give you any higher resolution on the model.

What does the Photo/Texture Quality on the model say? 100%+?

RC will ignore absurd resolutions or high amounts of textures if it exceeds the possible detail too much.

hello, try to change the unwrap settings to Adaptive texel size, which takes into account distance and number of cameras seeing the same surface, so less covered parts will have lower quality than well covered ones,
you can also use Fixed texel size and try experimenting with the texel size number

I thought that too but I see more detail on the photo so there is detail that's not being used I suppose? Right now the quality says 101%
My next step tonight is to try auto unwrap in zbrush or max and hopefully that will give me better results. Thanks for the reply

Hello lubenko, thanks for your reply! I'll look at those settings tonight :)

I'm having issues, too. I am loading in 4kx3k DNG images, but once in the program the data for each image gives it some garbage resolution like 1k x 600ish

Oh, if I save them all as PNGs it retains their original resolution. How annoying. Looks like it's a known issue. https://support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000787611-raw-files-workflow-and-resolution
