Perhaps you could also make the navigation have assignable hotkeys? If not, my vote goes for: Alt+LMB Orbit Alt+MMB Zoom Alt+RMB Pan

Thank you very much for the response. I will start with a new project this evening, re-import the .obj file and specify the resolution on import. However, one problem that I have already had when exporting this file was that the large texture sizes were bogging down Carrara Studio after importing the file. So I had already reduced the file to 1024x1024 using Photoshop, and if I recall correctly the original texture size was 2048x2048. I would think that this size of a texture should definitely be large enough to allow for crisp, detailed texturing. Also, when painting over the texture using Illustrator the details end up being very sharp, which to me indicates that the resolution for the texture map is definitely high enough. I am not sure of the number of polygons in the mesh but I smoothed it twice, collapsed the mesh and exported. I will try Administrator's methodology of matching the texture size to the number of polygons when I get home. Something just doesn't make sense, though...

So does this mean that if I have everything set up correctly I should be able to get a solid line with very hard edges? If I am not getting a solid line with hard edges then that means I must be doing something wrong? I will try everything when I get home tonight (though I know I have already adjusted the transparency and I have already unchecked "draw by spots"). By the way, thank you very much for your responses.

Is there a way to make the edges of brush strokes very hard? No matter what I try there seems to be some transparency falloff similar to anti-aliasing on all brush strokes. Additionally, I am having trouble making a solid line with the brush. When I hold my left mouse button down and drag the brush across the mesh the cursor flashes and the line that is drawn is more like a dotted line. Am I perhaps using the wrong tool or can this be done with the brush tool? Here is an example showing a quick line drawn across the mesh. The brush being used is a circle exported from Illustrator. Please help.

After I have imported a mesh with a texture and chosen a texture size for it, is there a way to go back and change the texture size? I have already finished texturing the model and I have exported it but it seems to be bogging down my Carrara Studio 6 Pro. I am thinking I may have set the texture size too big but I am not certain. Thanks.
