Title: Fuzzy textures in the distance (Anyone know how to fix this??) Post by: Tekhead on 2004-08-27, 00:44 http://dl.downloadhosting.com/download/tek.../Q3Distance.jpg (http://dl.downloadhosting.com/download/tekhead/Q3Distance.jpg)
This level looks the same in vq3 too - it's not gen-specific. Any advice on how to make the ramp trim look smooth? (the map is pjw3tourney4_b1 btw) Title: Re: Fuzzy textures in the distance Post by: Phoenix on 2004-08-27, 01:28 Looks like it might be mipmap falloff causing that. Do you have a copy of the map I could look at?
Title: Re: Fuzzy textures in the distance Post by: Tekhead on 2004-08-27, 02:00 Sure.

Me, I can set that using my ati vid-driver control panel.. dunno how it works for nvidia drivers..
Title: Re: Fuzzy textures in the distance Post by: Tekhead on 2004-08-27, 02:15 So... this a map, Quake3 or a video card setting issue?
Title: Re: Fuzzy textures in the distance Post by: Angst on 2004-08-27, 02:53 that's a video card setting, iirc, ati cards have a slider for quality vs speed. I tend to set the quality higher. I THINK that's what tab's talking about. As I always set the quality high, I don't have the problem you're having :P

Title: Re: Fuzzy textures in the distance Post by: Phoenix on 2004-08-27, 06:27 Confirmed. It's definitely settings for your vid driver. I tested it out with r_colormiplevels 1 and I saw very little mipmap falloff with my settings, and the texturing looked fine. I have mipmap bias set insanely low through Riva Tuner so that I don't have to set my anisotropic filtering as high to get cleaner textures. I get a little moire that way, but I prefer a slight moire over having to choose between blurry textures and crawling framerates.
If you want to, try running with and without r_colormiplevels 1 (requires a vid restart) and compare the colors to this screenshot. If you see a lot of strong colors right where your texture clarity is dividing harshly then you need to tweak some settings.
