Artifacts on textured models
Article needs peer review
Symptom
Objects have been textured and you notice artifacts when you render the objects.
Cause
The problem is related to a known bug. The Texture Support, if scaled down is known to produce artifacts.
Solution
Select the support and reset the Scaling, Rotation and Translation(set scaling to 1 and rotation and translation to 0). Now edit the texture projection(hit ‘j’ to enable the projection widget), use the widget to relocate / scale the image to the desired position on the object. This way you are scaling the texture projection within the support and not the texture support itself. This prevents the occurence of artifacts.
