: Photoshop 3D object looks high quality only when moving it I am working on some textures for 3D .obj files in photoshop cs6 extended. The objects look pretty pixelated and low quality, but

@Becky351

It may also be that you are zooming the image. If you want the object to be bigger, just bring it closer using the tools that are specifically for 3D, which are placed over the working canvas.
This happened to me. I could see the 3D model super pixellated, and it turned out I was zooming it.

Although this response is much too late for those that came before me, I thought it might be useful to provide a simple solution (as most of these answers don't really answer concisely imho)....
Make your containing document larger - ie. instead of using a starting document size of 1500 x 1500, try one of 6000 x 6000px.
Although this makes no difference to the resolution of your textures, it does make it possible to see what you are doing whilst creating your textures.............

I've been searching for the same information. It looks like Adobe has removed the ability to change the render options while working on an object and defaults to using interactive rendering.

Make the resolution around 300px either when you open a new project or open a .obj file and that's it!

i got the solution ..
this low resolution you see in the viewing mode is just while designing, after you did all your moves and changes click on the 3D layer and go to 3D menu then click Render or just click the shortcut ALT+SHIFT+CTRL+R. it will take a few minutes to render then you will see it with full resolution.

I had this same problem and did not find any other discussions addressing this issue, so I thought I'd post the solution for anyone else looking for it here. I fixed it by changing my document resolution (under Image --> Image Size). I started with a 1024x1024 document size, thinking it needed to be the same as my texture resolution. I updated it to 4096x4096 and found my object rendering much improved. The texture sizes are independent of your document size (I am new at this, so that probably should have been obvious to me to begin with).

Check your OpenGL Settings. It's likely that your static vs. moving layer is utilizing a different function entirely of your video card is being used.
