Hello,

I have some questions about the 3D mesh resolution:

- Pix4d allows to generate 131072x131072 pixel for texture size of 3Dmesh, but I can’t export it in a third part software. The 3D mesh appears black. I’ve got the same issue with the online inspector.

Is there a limitation of the size of texture for 3Dmesh outputs? In the virtual inspector?

Stick with 16384 x 16384 and bump up the max triangles for higher resolution.&nbsp; I have found no good way to increase texture size even on my 128GB RAM system…plus there is no good reason even with my 42MP pictures.

I agree with Adam, I would stick with lower texture resolutions such as 8192x8192 and 16384x16384 if you want to display them on the Cloud. Higher textures are not supported at the moment.&nbsp;

Can you explain why you would need such a high texture size for the 3D Textured Mesh? Do you see a significant difference between&nbsp;16384x16384 and&nbsp;131072x131072 for your use case?
