I do know what it is, i searched the forums, but:

I DO NEED TO KNOW HOW TO IMPLEMENT THIS!!!!

My model looks yellowish, blurry, i dont care how many textures i have to add, how big the model will get, i just dont care, plz just tell me how to!

For example, if you have a 256x256 px texture, mip 1 texture would have 128x128, mip 2 64x64 and mip 3 32x32. For wc3, you'll have to name each variation texturename_mip1, texturename_mip2, etc. With the art tools, in 3ds max, when it exports the model and the textures it makes all mip maps into one blp file, so I think that if you just import in the map all variations (in case you don't have art tools) it will work the same.

And this has nothing to do with modeling or animation, moved.

do i have to start with _mip1 or mip0??

and where do i have to set up the mipmapping?

wikipedia is your friend.

And, for wc3 it has to start with mip1. And you don't have to set anything.

i found a very interesting passage in the ArtTools ReadMe, it says that wc3 does that on its own...

[TDR]

yeah, it does, it makes them realy blurry and yellow. for best results you have to make your own.

[erwtenpeller]

would you even need something like this in wc3 unless you have diffrent camera settings then usual?

[TDR]

no, unless you have detailed textures.
