Bitmaps larger than 10 meters...

[Chris MacDonald]

In max I've run into a slight problem in the bitmap slot on my material browser in that every time I input a size value of more than 10,000mm (the texture I'm using needs to be 12,000mm) it simply resets the size value down to what appears to be its maximum limit of 10 meters.

 

So does anyone have any ideas to:

 

1) stop it doing this,

2) work around it,

3) why autodesk implemented an arbitary maximum size?!

What about changing your working units to meters insted of mm might just be a limit for working in mm.

Are you controlling the bitmap size from inside the material editor? If so try using UVW map modifiers, I've never had a problem with them.
