Creating textures To create a new texture choose 'New...' from the File menu to open this dialog: This dialog asks you for the size of the new texture. As you would expect you can switch from 'pixels' to 'inch' or 'cm'. For print output you can change the resolution as well. When you design textures for screen use (web or multimedia) or for import into 3D applications use 72 pixels/inch. Although there is no limitation to the texture size (except memory usage) you should not create large textures. The pupose of a seamless texture is to tile well, so that its size can be reduced.   Back to Table of Contents
