You can copy and resize the image in the image editor. You won't find a mode that natively biases mipmaps

what's wrong with my rig setup? I'm following this tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBy3V7qg7X0

and this is the state right before clicking "generate rig" (cunny warning)

https://files.catbox.moe/btdhlh.blend

but it always fails with "Bone Heat Weighting: failed to find solution for one or more bones", I've tried joining all meshes together, and it also fails maybe the topology is too messy? I went a bit wild trying to add detail, it's my first time doing this sort of thing

>but it always fails
the parenting fails, the rig is generated correctly

select mesh and armature
scale up 10x
parent with automatic weights
unparent mesh, remove armature modifier
reset scale (alt-s) on mesh and armature
parent mesh to armature with empty groups (this actually reuses existing groups if they exist)

You're done!
Auto weighting occasionally has trouble with meshes that are dense in world space, scaling takes care of it.

I'd also reset the mesh to world origin pivot before doing it, though, will likely get rid of some other bugs

just wanted to say really good tummy design!

Thanks but the topology is not very good, it's all over the place because I'm still new to this. In the end I wasn't able to capture as much detail from the original sculpt as I would have wanted.

topology is the hardest to learn and for being new to it you're doing pretty damn good already, just don't give up when it doesn't come out as you envisioned since that's always the worst feeling when you make something from you wanted

It will definitely be far from ideal once I'm done, but I'm learning a lot, so I have to finish it.
