Blur texture - can't change mipmap

Hi,

Is it possible to soften a texture map? I have a scene with lots of repeatable textures and it just looks a bit naff with all the moire patterns going on.

I have tried to change the mipmap to blur/soften but it always reverts to NoMipmaps.

Screenshot attached showing the prob.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

You could have a detail roughness (thats very huge) to break up the distance.
You could also set up a few nodes so that in the distance the same material is bigger and looks less repetative.

A being the regular sized one, and B being the same texture but 4x as big (with a texcoord node).
This will make your texture less repetative in the distance.

Another way to do this is by checking out this: http://gametextures.com/blog/2014/09/30/using-gametextures-in-unreal-engine-4/ I think its on the 2nd page, it shows how to set up a roughness detail texture… but obviously can also be used for normal/albedo/other stuff :slight_smile:

Hope that helps.
