8K texture resolution support in viewport

[Mike31839436jrgz]

Howdy,

I am wondering if bumping up the texture resolution in the viewport from 4k to 8k is in the roadmap?

This is currently slowing down my workflow as I have to export the textures and view them in another app to check the more granular details.

Thank you for your continued support,

-Mike

Hello Mike

Thanks for the question.

Unfortunately, supporting the 8K in viewport isn't planned for coming releases. Performances doesn't meet our standards yet, and we don't have find a decent solution for the moment.

Cyril, 
This is an underwhealmingly lazy response. Your customer asked you for a feature so many of us NEED for our workflow and you dismissed it by stating suits wont allow it because of performance. Cool. I think we can handle it. At least give us an option to view 8k for a short while to ensure quality in our workflow. I honestly am tired of this attitude here. I get so much more from your competitor. You never know who you are speaking with. Hey Tom Knoll, you shouldn't have left me in the freezing cold for 5 hours that night. 

Address this issue for once and for all. This is a simple task. Many new scaling tecniques out there today and you are no stranger to AI.

Hi @steavenm15613881,

To be clear, I didn't dismiss Mike's sugggestion, and I'd probably even agree this would be a nice feature for the application, but the blank fact is we're not currently focused on Real Time 8K due to performances.

If you wish to see this feature higher in our priority list, I strongly advise you to upvote this post. We're daily seeing many suggestions, and that's why we're using the Idea section of this forum to gather users suggestions and create a user most wanted features list.

As a matter of fact, our latest release (10.0) was answering two of the top users ideas : Text tool and Layer stack edition with Python.

But more importantly: Who is Tom Knoll?

Best regards,

Hello Cyril,

Thanks for the follow up, do not mind the negativity.  The text tool is a great feature and obviously more useful to a larger user base.

As a follow up to your reply.  One thing that Autodesk, [yes Autodesk] used to do well is create features for Maya that are not necessarily production ready, but go through a sort of vetting process by being included in 'Bonus Tools'.  Essentially these acted as beta features for future releases.

It occured to me that substance could borrow this method for the users who like to have latest or even experimental features still in development.

I am sure as general GPU specs evolve, that 8K rez will be included at some point.  I do wonder though, an rtx4090card  should be able to handle it  😉

Best,

-Mike
