fact of teh matter is, all the maps now are 2k, and at setting 10, why not make 4k maps, and if you want to stay in the stone age put your texture res down to 9, problem solved.

Or skin a 2k map really well and be done with it

Or skin a 4k map and scale it down to 2k in PS??? Either way 4k for the win

There is only so much quality you can get with a 2k map detail wise. 4k is much better to work with imo.

In the world of new video games 4k is considered the small maps.

Or skin a 4k map really well and run at 9 if your comp is a bad excuse for a potato.

Im talking about sim. The only one i can see making use of a 4k map well in this community is JvdL. Honestly a well unwrapped and skinned model can be more than stunning. Heck, look at the REVe crf.

Anyone ever tried to skin a 4k map? Needs a bit more than a lot of time for using all that amount of pixels and filling it up with some nice details.
I agree the 4k map would be awesome but does this game need it really, so much other stuff is lacking.
I currently use a 2500x2500 image for a tm template just because it's a bit more comfortable to draw circular shaped things on that, but going to convert it to 2048 when finished. But yeah it's going to be very stiff and there was a lot of problems when I was working on the UV map.

I've noticed 4k is really good for gear. Just because you can make stitching look some what nice.

Im not saying a 2k model cant look good, it can, but my point is, a 4k can look better, regardless.

[T-RIDER]

Im not saying a 4k modekt wont look better im just saying its not needed.

[attacker5]

then we might as well still be running 512 x 512

[T-RIDER]

Yes because if you loose one tooth you may as well knock em all out right?

[m121c]

If everyone conformed to what is there and didn't change it up or innovate anything how is anything supposed to get better? It's really not that big a deal, if you want a 2k map change your texture detail one, simple as that.

There's already a huge issue with performance in this game, and Mason is the only person that I've seen make full use of a 4k texture, so I'd say that most of us are just wasting perfomance for nothing.

[attacker5]

I think people should just use whatever they want, just make it look good.
