Impossible to change Mip Gen Settings

Hello dear Friends.

I faced with problem - cant to change Mip Gen Settings of an imported texture.
Example:

As you can see Mip Gen Settings = NoMipmaps.
I did and still do many tries to change it to sharpen4-5 but value doesn’t change. DropDown is active.
Streaming is turned on:

And one more question in this topic - I want to make better quality of with presentation of texture as you can see on the screenshot. To read texture text impossible - no details, but size is 4Kx4K. And I think it’s depend on Level of Detail, ans therefore I try to change Mip Gen Setting.
May be I’m wrong? Should I change something another?

Hi CMEXProX,

You will need to use a power of 2 image in order to generate any Mipmaps. So this would be a 256, 512, 1024, etc.

If you are not using a power of 2 texture you will get the NoMipmaps and will not be able to select any other options from the drop-down or adjust the LOD Bias.

Thank you!

Hey, it should probably pop up a warning or grey out the mip map selection entirely (with some explanation text) when not power of 2; I just got bit by this when trying to figure out why some marketplace content had some bad shimmering and took me a while to track it down.

There also seems to be a minor glitch when you try and change the mip settings without a power of 2 texture: the tool tip on the selection will change even though the selection doesn’t. Took me a while to realize I hadn’t actually made the change because of the tooltip and because no warning or anything popped up.
