Title: Expanding a texture
Post by: MicroPsycho on August 18, 2005, 02:57:08 pm

is there a way to increase the size of an image (in this case texture map) to a higher resolution without sacrificing detail?

You'd have to take it into PS and remove the pixelation as part of the up-detailing it.

no, you cannot get information out of nothing. you have to re-make it, or touch up the existing one.

thought so. I guess I'll be fixing up the texture by hand. Thanks anyway.
