Typically when you zoom out on an object, the game displays a different LOD (level of detail) mesh. LOD0 will be the most detailed, LOD1 less so, and LOD2 even more less so. it looks like the UV mapping is off for your second level of detail mesh (LOD1). I would check your mapping for LOD1 and make sure that the uv map correctly aligns with the texture

i checked the uvs are placed correctly in blender and all the lods are placed correctly

It could be that the texture size is off. Have you looked through this list to see if it mentions your issue there? |

Are you using a DDS or a PNG? If using a DDS, how did you save it? Did you include mipmaps? Lahawana explained what an LOD is, and mipmaps are the same thing but with textures: as you zoom away from your object the game will switch to a smaller texture. Zoom away some more and the game will switch to an even smaller image. If you don't have mipmaps you'll see texture problems when you move away from your object. When saving as a DDS be sure that generate mipmaps has been ticked.
Edit: It also looks like you used the same mesh for all LODs. This isn't a good idea. The whole point of LODs is to reduce how much work your computer has to do to render the object. Not everyone has a powerful PC and using LODs can reduce lag.

It looks like your bump map for the headboard and footboard has not been done correctly. The alpha channel is white and it shouldn't be. I posted some instructions here a while ago where I explained how I make normal maps (bump maps. Same thing). You can follow my method or you can use the link in that post to bake a bump map in Blender. Either method will work. |

hi fwecka here is what i did based on your tutorial since my diffuse does not have a transparent background there is no need to make a new layer and fill it with #8080ff color i have desaturated my diffuse (i applied hue and saturation) i have uploaded it to normal map online and then i have downloaded the result as png then i made an alpha channel (it appeared in black color) i copied and pasted the red channel to the alpha channel and then i copied and pasted the green channel to the red and blue channels and i have saved it as dxt5 i tested in the game and it still the same problem when i zoom out the bed looks weird as i have ticked generate mipmaps i don't know what's causing this as my uv are placed correcly and the normal map is correct and the mipmaps are ticked ;( you will find the changes that i made in the package file simfileshare.net/download/2720028/ |
