Like I mentioned I am confused that the texture slider is at minimum 0.25K (I posted a pic of this a few threads back) when once selects the collect textures it seems that one can only increase the size?

 

As Reg mentioned, collecting textures is for the entire scene. .25k would be like 250x250, which might cover a match box or something small (adequately without seams poking out). I didn't catch your original post, but if you've got like 10 people in a single scene, setting your collect textures to 2k would be a starting point. It's tough to say whether that will work for your vision as only you can see it at the moment, but it can't hurt to do a trial run at a smaller resolution, like 840x640 (the image size, that is).

Whichever route you go with the textures, it sounds like it's going to need a loooooooooooooong render time to make it happen.
