HL2 source tex size

[Dario D.]

I had the impression for the longest time that most of HL2's main level textures were 1024x1024, but when I look through the textures in Hammer, it says most of them are only 512x512.

Is that for real, or is something wrong?

512x512.

Hmm... I could have sworn... which means they did a really good job

Most of them are 512x512 but u can have textures up to 2056x2056.

Most of them are 512x512 but u can have textures up to 2056x2056.

that's 2048x2048

I'm pretty sure most engines that have "power of 2 textures" can go pretty much up to any tex size, as long as it's a power of 2... at least in the Quake and Unreal engines.
