First Time Prop making problems.

I thought I'd try my hand at making a simple prop.  I figured a simple 3 meter ruler would be simple.  Just a narrow plane and a PNG of the same scale.  The results look fine in iRay but Texture and Filiment are distorted. Attached are screen shots of the three views and the PNG used for the Base.

    Texture shaded, is only an approximate representation.

    Why FIlament comes out blurry, I do not know. Maybe it does some texture compression. There doesn't seem to be much fokus on Filament by Daz, after it was implemented.

    Try using a .png that is about 3 or 4 times the size of the plane.

    When designing the image .png, work on the larger size. [generally it is easier to resize down than it is to resize up]
