No, this is after rendering in final mode. I tend to render at high res (300-600 for print stuff) and with high end settings (since my machine can handle it) and I see seams in various textures. Maybe it's just in P6 I don't know, but even at lower resolution with lower settings I see them. Or maybe I'm just too picky. (I don't think so though) Wasn't just one texture either. Also, since my other half and I have kind of different tastes in textures, and he does more stuff with V3/Steph (surprise surprise) while I do more stuff with M3, we tend to have different packages on our machines. He picked up one of those Omega textures and when I was working on his box the other day I put it on a V3. Err.. I don't know if it's just me, but I thought the texture was extremely blurred (the tattoo stuff) if you did away with all the gloss (which I don't like) and did a closeup render. He doesn't do many closeup things, mainly uses the posed figure as a filler in sci fi scenes and stuff, so it doesn't matter as much to him. At the same time I sat there with my eyebrows raised and was like "Urgh, no thanks." (I am picky... so it's probably just me who feels that way.) This is by no means meant as a slight to the artist who did those textures, I realize how much work such a texture involves. It's nust not for me because I'm incredibly picky. I have the greatest respect for the people who produce the textures, please realize that. I cannot do it myself, it's too time consuming. My other half is quite happy with his purchase, while I'd have slung it into a corner. Just shows you the difference between two poser users who sit next to each other lol. (He feels the same way about some stuff I've bought btw lol)
