It seems that the 8K texture resolution limit is an issue with Maya Software. And since AD doesn’t fix this legacy issue I’m searching for alternatives :slight_smile: Would it be possible to develop a vray texture node that bypasses that limitation? Something that also handles alpha channels more…

I never noticed that my textures were limited to 8k… are they? o.O Try using vrayHDR node to input ur larger textures. That should work.

What exactly is happening with big textures? We just get the texture name from the file node, and do not have much to to with Maya.

well - you simply don’t see them, neither in viewport, ae, hypershade, uv-texture editor … and maya prints a warning (… is too big) vray actually renders them but without the possibility to edit larger textures thats cumbersome any workarounds we usually produce two versions of the texture - bu…

Yea that’s just maya being shit. U want big textures in viewport you can either use old viewport preview - NOT the 2.0. It usually allows from time to time to show bigger textures. The other work around is to go to max or other package. Maya is terrible with its viewport.

Maya is limited to 8k in the viewport, you can see that in Pref under Display. I don’t think there is anything you can do about it.

Not in this particular case. Maya won’t let do it. it also limits it to 4 characters…

a real show stopper i wonder how other facilities do - do they just guess how to texture their assets?!

I often work with textures bigger than 8k. But the texture is created in Mari or Photoshop. Also in the Hypershade, have you tried to ctlr+LMB or double click the thumbnail, that should make it visible. yannick

The actual texturing is often done in dedicated packages like Mari, meaning you really don’t need to see the textures in Maya’s viewport. If you really need to, you can always use lower resolution versions while working and just replace them when it’s time to render. EDIT: For the record, I’ve man…

Many time in maya when you type higher number than what is limited in UI it actually works. Try typing higher number/restarting/see if it works then.
