How get GREAT resolution when project polypaint?

Hello…
I have a problem and I need help please.
every time I project a 4K polypaint
to a low resolution model
using the path: subtool → project → color
the colormap texture at the end is horrible,
It’s always 4K but the texture looks broken and pixelated.
How can I do to achieve a perfect 4K texture
from one model to another,
knowing that the original texture is perfect and 4K resolution?
Thank you

Paint is a vertex property, not a polygon property. So in order to project the high color density of your 4K polypaint source onto your low poly model, you’re going to need to subdivide the low poly model to get many more vertices.

thank you thousand !!!
but
even creating a subdivision of 5 (in both models), even so, with intel core 7 processor, (2019), my computer, becomes slow, and even so the quality of the 4K texture
it ends up being very bad, because it loses the original quality.

is there any other solution ?

let me give you my steps

  1. import 2 models original and low resolution

  2. subdivide both models to 5

3, make polypaint from texture (original)

  1. tool Morph target–> store

  2. subtool–> project color only.

  3. texture from polypain then export low model and texture

Am I correct?

Subdivision Level 5 in itself only means it has been subdivided 4 times. Depending on the base mesh this may still result in a model that is too low in polycount to capture the detail of a 4k texture.

Topology quality also plays a role. The optimal topology for this process is clean, square shaped quads. The less square the quads are the poorer the quality. Triangles or heavily distorted quads will produce jagged results that may result in “fuzzy” detail at high res.

For the best results you want the topology to be locally optimized as well. Ideally you want more polygons in areas of the most color detail, and fewer in areas where there will be less scrutiny.

thanksw … yhanks a lot
now i understan better
works a lot
