Custom textures dissappear at far camera
« on: February 26, 2017, 06:45:05 pm »
Hello. I've been trying to change one of the demon hunter's tattoos color to blue. It appears perfect on short range (1st Image) but appears weirdly with a little zoom out (2nd image). Also happens for custom skins (i tried to change draenei to red, when you got far it turned black) but no photos of that, I erased it because it didn't work.

Images:

Anyone had this problem and if so, how did you fix it (if at all?)
Thanks in advance to everyone!

Do you use Photoshop BLP plugin, or do you edit textures as PNGs and then convert them to BLP?

PNG and then to BLP with a separate program. I use Paint.net, can't afford Photoshop right now

BLPConverter is considered unreliable. You may also have some settings on it wrong (version or whatever else - there are many variables here), but even with all set properly you can always get some random issues when using PNG to BLP conversion overall.

What should I use then? Any converter that is reliable or do I have to download a Photoshop trial?

Photoshop is the only clean way around. You should be fine with PNG to BLP conversions, but they just might not sometimes work for 100%.

Hey, I got a trial of photoshop, it asks me for compression and alpha depth, what do I choose?
