Maximum texture size Created 19 years ago2005-04-15 02:07:32 UTC by Guinea Pirate

Just out of curiosity, how large can you make a texture? I know the defualt max size is 256x256 but I've gone beyond that. Just how far could you go?

I think it's the area of the image that matters more than the width or height alone; for example, I think you could get away with 512x64. No promises, though.

i think 512x512 is the highest allowed size

Umm, not quite correct,
I do believe that you can have larger textures if you are willing to ignore the compile errors.

Depends on the graphics card rendering it in the end. I mean, Voodoo 3's don't support textures larger than 128x128, if my memory serves me correctly. I guess they use a MIPed version the whole time ? or maybe it just doesn'a work.
