Blurry Cartextures (only on my car)

[Florenzius]

Hey,

my problem: my car, i created has own stickers and stencils and the final-car is in full-hd: http://i.imgur.com/D8APUcD.png

I wanted to test it on a solo-map and the car had blurry textures :O http://i.imgur.com/mqTCn5l.png

That was a shock, because i saw the medal-ghosts (nadeo-cars) and this skins had a better resolution: http://i.imgur.com/7bu87LW.png

And i put the textures to the top-level...

Pls, can you help me?
I don't have any solution...

Look at the shader settings, and also at the game settings, there is also an option "Quality of cars":

The weird point is, that all cars are at the ultimate-settings, the other players too

But well, I try it now, i hope it works...

##EDIT: Nope, the same problem

Here new pictures:

I used the Mini-cooper by atomicboy (remake by anyone other) with the "White-Green"-Skin. I edited it and added my logos and texts. In the editor all is HD, but after saving in the editor the textures are blurry in the editor too. if i click undo, all textures are HD and if i save it again, the textures are still hd. But in the game, the textures are blurry. So is it a saving-error?

This is not really a saving error. It is simply the texture compression (DXT is not lossless, but lossy!)
If you want to achieve real HQ skins, then don't use the ingame editor, better use DXT plugins from nVidia for Photoshop, they also work in Paint Shop Pro and other programs that use the Photoshop plugins, or simply Paint.Net (it can also load / save DXT).

I think there are enough tutorials about this, on TM-Carpark or Maniapark.

But the problem at photoshop is, that if you add a normal logo, ingame the logo is distorted... But i can try it...

Nobody said that it would be easy.
There are special helper textures so you can see the proportions of the car, search for Templates in Maniapark.

There are also special model editing programs, like Unwrap3D which might help in the editing process.

The game painter saves compressed textures, to allow a faster exchange of skins in game.
Pro HQ skins can have several MB file size, and you don't want to upload them with slow DSL to all other players, and also don't keep asking "Can you see my skin!?", because most probably nobody else will really like it.
Players are all individuals and they prefer their own skins, or artwork from known good artists
