Okay, you got a large template to map....it is 2000 x 2000, the objects on that map are not that large but large enough, and about 7 of them.....now when you place your texture on it and then go to render it, you can still see in some software the detail of the pixel..... here is the question, if you create a seamless tile that is say 512 x 512 @ 300 dpi's and use that on the template, will that help increase the maps clarity or will it look exactly like a bitmap that is say 150 dpi's 512 x 512? basically how to get the best clarity without increasing the size of the map too much (kb) Sharen
