Decal quality

[Spartanneomi]

I've tried making decals the same size and larger than the object I'm trying to decal and then fitting the decal down to size to try and make my decals not look so pixelly, but it doesn't work and I'll like to make some close up shots of what I'm trying to decal, but the quality doesn't seem to be very good. Is this a problem with the format or is it just a down side of the program?

(The actually image I used for the decal is a little big, but I've tried it other ways too.)

 

 

 

(On a side subject, is there someway I could possibly...."paint" my model with an airbrush or something in AM.)

Decals are always shown in low quality in the real time view. When you render they look normal.

If you want to paint your models, A:M Paint would be the best tool to do this.

Yea the A:M Paint is the way to go for detailed decaling.

Also use Photoshop to deal with your decales.

I take it that I would have to buy 3DPainter to get that, right?
