Question by Lemo76 · Mar 05, 2013 at 07:06 AM · 3dstyle

How to Stop Banding

Hello, I have my 3d First person game i'm currently working on. When I play it, if I look (even on the standard cube) at an object, it gives a banding effect which I prefer being smooth. To show you what I mean, look at the one on the left side (8 bit gradient): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Colour_banding_example01.png

how do I make smooth like the 24 bit one?

Check your image import settings (select image file in project view, settings will be shown in the inspector).

Are you rendering to a 32 or 16-bit frame buffer?

That is quality settings:

I meant, is your graphics driver on your machine configured for 32-bit or 16-bit color depth?

You need to go to the texture file, and in the inspector do this: alt text

Shadow Resolution has a significant effect on banding on textureless objects like the standard Unity cube. Try changing it to "Very High Resolution" in Edit > Project Settings > Quality, or in your light source if it overrides that default.
