  26. No, actually, it's probably too small. Lightwave has to enlarge it, using
  27. smoothing and blending techniques to make it fill your surface, so it would get
  28. "blurry". To prevent this, either use a larger bitmap texture or use a texture
  29. that can use the tiling option, so it repeats instead of being resized.
