rendering textures - issues

[_mats_]

Hello -

I am trying to render a closeup of an object, the texture is cylindrically mapped, but it is distorted (as blurred) when rendering.. any ideas?

Texture is a PSD with alpha channel (tried PNG with alpha, same issues)

thanks

solved !

it had something to do with how it was mapped, I reapplied the texture and now it works?

thanks
