What does the last version of C8.1 do to textures?

How does one reset textures?

Thanks

I don't know how you reset textures, probably through a Fenric plugin?

But I can tell you this much: C8.5 uses a 'Good Ole Times' texture map filtering mode called fast mipmap, instead of the 'Sampling' filtering mode in all previous versions of Carrara.

The fast mipmap filtering mode was used in the 1990's to speed-up real-time display for game engines.

There was 2 'theories' as to why the fast mipmap filtering mode was introduced: 1) To facilitate sculpting of hi-def meshes OR 2) to speed-up Carrara's ailing renderer.

I personally subscribe to the second theory. And that is why I keep repeating that Daz is a totally incompetent company, when it comes to software.

No company CEO or product manager taking the slightest pride in their products, would use such a crude and laughable solution in a pro level 3D app costing $549.-

The time it took them to implement fast mipmap only to have people laugh at them, they could have put it to much better use integrating Embree into C8.5 renderer, for far superior results.
