Blurry textures with custom shader 2003-12-07 - By Mike Mcaulay
Back
I have created a custom shader node. When applied to a mesh, the texture
looks correct when I render, but is blurry in the viewport. It looks
filtered, like a low-res mipmap.
I built the sample lambert shader node (lambertshader.cpp) that ships with
Maya, and it exhibits the same symptom. The default lambert and blinn
shaders OTOH behave correctly - the texture is equally crisp in the viewport
and in a rendered image. (BTW, these tests are done with the same mesh,
camera setup and texture file, just applying the 4 shaders sequentially and
observing the change in visual quality in the viewport)
Does anyone know what's going on here?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Subject: Custom shader node has a hammer on its icon
Hello list. I'm creating a custom shader node. Although it seems to be
working correctly (I can connect it to a shading group and it will affect
the appearance of a mesh in the expected manner) it shows up in the
Multilister as a checkerboard with a claw hammer superimposed over it. I
assume this means its malformed in some way, but I can't find anything in
the docs to help me determine what the problem is.
Does anyone know what the hammer means? Can anyone suggest where in the
docs I might look to find the answer to similar questions in the future?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
