This page describes how the moiré pattern looks like in-game and how to fix or prevent it.
Overview
The moiré pattern is when textures appear to flicker or clash at a distance. This is because mipmaps have not been enabled under the MDL0 or the textures have not been imported correctly. To help prevent this issue occurring in tracks, there are a few ways in which you can help negate the effect. The main – and best solution – is explained below.
Importing and Encoding Mipmaps
Step 1
- Right click the .brres file and import a texture.
- Find the texture you would like to import.
- After selecting the texture, under MIP levels you can change the value to edit the number of mipmaps.
- Once done editing the mipmap levels, click Okay to make sure they save.
Step 2
- Double check your texture has mipmaps enabled.
- Go to the MDL0 of your .brres file.
- Find the material you would like to add mipmaps to.
- Click the material and then the material reference.
- Under the MinFilter, change the node to "Linear_Mipmap_Linear".
Re-encoding Mipmap Levels
If you have already imported your textures into your .brres file and are unsure how to add mipmaps, this simple step will help.
- Go to the texture you want mipmaps to be enabled on.
- Right click the texture and click, "Re-Encode".
- Under MIP Levels, enter the amount of mipmaps you want.
- Once done editing the mipmap levels, click Okay to make sure they save.
