mikejkelley Dream Caster	Nm how I've gone this many yrs. not knowing how to accomplish this lol bashful. When I model I like to use background pictures for reference, But when I apply texture maps/images to a plane in my scene I end up with a very low resolution image, which makes it hard for me to work accurate and add detail. An answer I saw elsewhere said "Go to material editor, select material which has texture on it, hold normal button, click far right option," but I can't find the "normal button," is that like the "any key?" I'm using max 2008. What's an upgrade?

Cryrid 3D Artist	Lounge.ego-farms.com Go to "Configure->Preferences->Viewports->Configure Driver" set the "Download Texture Size" to a higher value (or choose "match bitmap as close as possible"). If your textures have already been loaded, you will need to either: go to each texture in the material editor and click on "reload" or restart Max.
