The following options are available:

2. Texture quality
(affects studio scene + preview camera + rendering) The resolution of the textures influences the level of detail of the objects (e.g. clothes and skin of the models). A low setting signifi signi – cantly increase usability.

2. Render quality
A high setting allows a more accurate light calculation and shadow representation. This significantly increases the time needed to calculate the image!

Note: For a high texture resolution, the quality of the
textures (see above) must be set to 4.
