Placed logo art rendering with stepped edges

Hi,

I use Dimensions to place label art onto honey pots. The problem I am having is no matter how big I make the canvas I get a very poor result with stepped edges on the text once rendered.

Does anyone have a fix to this or is it a current limitation of the software that everything is actually only rendering at a very low res? I have tried playing with the Viewport anti aliasing also and no difference. Screenshots attached.

There is an internal resolution limit on the decals currently.  This will be fixed in a future update.

Render quality and the option for viewport anti-aliasing will not affect this.

Add a 4096x4096 solid color image to the material's base color.

Dimension changes the decal's resolution to the material's resolution, so increasing the resolution of the material also increases the decal's resolution.

I tried scaling my graphic down to 2000px on the longest side and its still causing artifacts on the material underneath.

Yes!! Your getting closer....

Now divide that by a 1/4 of that size and try again? You will get to where I did. Adobe advised best solution .. =

/ non "actual solution"

You will end up , hopefully same place as me, without artefacts , but quite soft. and blurry instead ..

In other words.. a very "Flacid" result.

Good luck to you all. Apart from the ACP robot..., +1 other. that actually may off may not have been real, that actually cared to tune into this thread... Steve something or another...

I am gone after this one. Like Auntie Maine said.. " Leave the losers behind"!!

Please don't mind me,.. "Y"all" ...

Be Well!!

so instead of a big image at low (72) rez... I would use a smaller image at big (300) rez

anyway good luck with it

Hey Ussnorway,

I would appreciate you being more knowledgeable on this thread instead of just theorising. Please attempt these theories before posting advice that is the opposite of what will work.

Thanks

Matt

So use a lower resolution image?

This one took over 5 hours to render at slowest best quality render setting. Also with viewport anti-aliasing on. The art was optimised to relative size to canvas. Still very jaggy.

There might be a limit for the level of texture quality Dimension renders, when I use mine there is no 'quality toggle' so I always assume the image used would be as is (uncompressed) which is not the case.

My suggestion would be: Try anti aliasing - art optimised, this should smooth those jaggies.

Hope this helps!

Here is an example.

The model is from Adobe Stock and the label is 6000px X 2500px

You can see even the 100% transparent areas of the PNG are affecting the aluminum texture.

WITHOUT LABEL

Yes, I tried this also, made no difference. It feels like the software is only working in very low res and all the resolution options above 900 pixels are a ruse.. Adobe? What do you have to say on this matter? Problems like this need to be addressed before charging us all subscriptions for this product. Also if this is the end off the line for now on this subject, imagine how much time we have all been waisting choosing bigger canvases and the slow rendering. I waited 10 hours one time to get a result like this one i just posted. ?? Same result with a 5 minute render at a1000 pixel canvas...

Same issue here. Anything i add a graphic too creates like a pixelated / compression look to the graphic and the material.
