Quote - but we agree that we dont need to use 2048 for eyebrows? we dont go that close.
Yes, but the eyebrows are currently only a tiny part of the 2048x2048 map. That's why I was talking about giving them their own map - which would of course be considerably smaller. I think 512x512 would in fact be more than enough for just the eyebrows. For the references I have and the methods I've been using, probably even 256x256. There's no sense in making the resolution bigger than the level of detail one actually has. I think what pjz99 means is to hand whatever level of detail one can reasonably get over to the user and let them decide whether they want to scale it down.
