texture Blurryness?

[vray.curiosity]

sometimes when doing studio shots the textures are abit blurry even high res textures, is this because max assigns texture blurryness or its something with vray? i would love to see the textures as sharp as they are on the actually textures in rendering and idk how possible this is

I guess you can turn the blur filter off.

[vray.curiosity]

does turning this off effectively means the testure is as is there is no blur applied by the software?

sorry reason why i asked here is because it doesnt look the same when i try this almost as if its processed like in photoshop, idk what the bitmap loader does but in corona renderer for example out of the box all textures are sharp

Thanks Bobby!!! this is definitely a good explanation and something to try, one thing am curious about now is if it will really speed up render times with it off, o man that would make my day!

also turning the filter off was something i never ever noticed before haha,silly me

you can also turn the filtering off in vray global settings or control the values in the scene with script.

Vlado recommends a blur radius of .05. Turning it off or setting it too low makes V-Ray work to hard, at least that is my understanding.

sometimes its slower, sometimes its faster. thats just personal preference. filtering turned off globaly works for me, with blurry AA filter gives me nice smooth image. just one spinner less to care about.

where to disable filtering globally?

[glorybound]

Although that was a trend, I think Vlado recommends leaving it on and setting the radius to something like .05. However, here is how:

Can you post that in a way where were all can see or as a link bobby?

It would be nice to have a global Map Filtering Value override next to that checkbox, so you could force all scene maps to 0.05 or so. Or alternatively modify max so new maps are created with blur at 0.05. I'm currently using VMC to do it but it's a drag when you're creating lots of new materials and maps.

Will make a note to look into it, but it might also be useful to explore using VRayHDRI with elliptical filtering.
