22nd Sep 2008, 1:48 AM	Custom Eyes Blur Face ): #1
Princess Catnip Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Jun 2007 Posts: 18	I made some eyes for practice, but when I put them on my sim, it's all blurry. And it's not a file quality problem or anything, because the whole face shows up blurred. I don't have any other CC that does this D:

Did you use DXT3 or DXT5? I've had blurry eyes before from using the wrong format, but never a whole blurry face. Cat you outline the steps you used to make the eyes? It might help us figure out what happened.

I've recolored other CC before, so it only happens with eyes... this is the second time it's happened.

Not just images of them, but actually attach the files - stick them in a rar or zip and attach them using Go Advanced and then Manage Attachments.

I suppose the blurring could be the game/graphics trying to enlarge your image and blurring everything. I changed the sizes and I didn't see a blur, but I don't have a very detailed skintone to see if it really worked.
