Title: texture resolutions Post by: hyp3rfocus on September 14, 2007, 04:40:37 PM i know that normally textures are along the lines of 128x128, 256x256, 512x512 etc, but why is this?
i've tried differently sized textures and they work, so is it that the engine works better with these sizes? Title: Re: texture resolutions Post by: fromhell on September 14, 2007, 10:20:16 PM If you don't stick with the power of two, you'll:
- be all misaligned in tiling - slow down video cards - increase loading times - look like crap when it tries to resize to another resolution on load video cards don't support odd texture resolutions unless it's a Geforce8.

is it ok to use rectangular textures that use power of two measurements like 256x128?
