Diffuse texture appears blurry in engine

Hi there

I have recently started using UE and am in the process of adding some assets to an initial block out of my level. However my diffuse/base colour appears blurry both in the viewport and when playing the level. I am using a 2k texture but have also tried a 1k texture and both produce the same result.

I have changed the MipGenSettings of the texture to NoMipMaps and have also changed the texture filter to “nearest”, but none of these worked on improving the quality of the texture in UE.

Here are some images of the rock asset in UE.

Any advice or help will be much appreciated.

besides making sure you set the scalability of the engine to " epic" all I can think of is being sure you saved as .png 8bit, or .tga.
also, for the love of performance be sure to keep mipmaps on :slight_smile:

worst cases, it helps to clean your cache, which helped occasionally with older versions:
which should be around
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine

Hi, thanks for the advice, I have changed scalability to EPIC and checked file types, all of these are correct.

Not sure how to delete the cache, is this the boot.dds file under deriveddatacache?

just delete everything in the folder I mentioned :slight_smile:
