So, I just thought of something. Couldn't you upload textures to a client via HTTP Requests? Therefore, higher quality textures/decals?

ROBLOX doesn't directly support slapping .png files and the like onto decals/textures, but you can use a program such as ImageMagick to convert the image into a .txt and read the text with HTTP requests(or even by storing it in the game) and create an image pixel by pixel out of frames. If you do this, I recommend combining similar frames because ROBLOX isn't good at handling a ton of frames on the screen at once. You could also upload images as shirts/pants -- just make sure they're sized to 585x559 pixels. I usually use this method because it's just as fast as uploading decals and doesn't require a bunch of frames. Shirts/Pants also don't have that blurry ring around the outer edge of the texture like decals do. If you want to upload a really big image, just split the image into 585x559 chunks, upload each of those, and then stitch them together.

@Echo Shirt textures don't have that outline around it? You just gave me a decalgasm.

You could always split up your picture into several different images to upload separately.

Well if you just wanted HD decals for "local" work, like cinematic videos or something, then you could load the files directly from the rbxasset folder.

Unfortunately though, no matter how HD we can get our images, we can never use them when we really need them. http://prntscr.com/2m0xx9 I couldn't find a curved surface that could have a texture on the inside of the curve after hours of searching. Thanks ROBLOX!
