    Why do my imported textures turn to crap?

      That's exactly right... You want the highest resolution you can get and still be useable. I've never noticed any low textures in your images, in fact, don't know that I've ever considered them textures. And if I can see a model and never think of textures, that's portraying your subject well.

          I've never tried this plugin, but resolution sounds like dpi or similar instead of MB?

            I actually have not used it in some time and now it doesn't seem to work. But would a 402x402 texture @ 107dpi be the largest texture in that model?

              You are right, 5 dpi shouldn't be marked green in this case too...
              Maybe we should stop guessing and wait for anyone who is familar with the tool 😉

                  Ok... Mine half way works...

                  I have a stone texture and it says 800x800 and the redline says 16.1

                  the file as exported is 187kb. Soo that means... I have no idea what that means.

                    it's view based pixel resolution, zoom in and re-run and it goes down...

                        I don't think this will be that useful to me, I'll just stick with exporting the textures and using that to check the sizes. I just wish it would stop renaming all of the textures (texture 1, texture 2, etc)

                            Not a problem, not at all. Heck, I read through the thread describing the thing and I thought the same thing. Very confusing.
