== Remember your Mipmaps == | |||
You need mipmaps on anything that could move closer or further away to the camera, the only case you don’t need them is static elements like the UI. Things that don’t have mipmaps tend to have an odd ‘static’ to them, instead of a smooth clean appearance. | |||
''Textures do not export from virtual textures with mipmaps attached!'' Even if you are not editing some maps, you need to import them into GIMP and resave with mipmaps to generate new ones. | |||
It is recommended to use Kaiser filter mipmaps as they are sharper than default mipmaps, but any will work. | |||
