HUD PNG Blurry?

[dandude7]

Hey,

I am developing a HUD using darkrpmodification's modules.
I added an image via using .png and it is extremely blurry and distorted for most players, any ideas?

Thanks in advanced,
Dan

Using any special flag when you create the [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/Material"]Material[/URL]? Try add "noclamp".

make sure its image size is power of 2

i.e 512x512, 128x64, etc

VTFEdit won't allow you to import anything un-resized to power of 2.

You don't need to use VTFEdit for a .png

Make sure your png is the same size or larger than what you are rendering - pngs will become blurry when you try to draw them larger than their actual size.

The other thing you can do is use:

Material( "path", "smooth mips" )

Which greatly improved the appearance of the edges in my textures, which were very jagged/fuzzy looking even with just "smooth".
