Strange wrapping problem

I made this model, it looks fine close up, and as expected from the distance and certain angolations, the rendering is different;the problem is, the lumber become yellow\greenish.
I was expecting it to simply become blurred, and since in the skin there is so little yellow (more or less 1/6 of the whole surface, there is more black, grey, and brown) I don't really get why it does change color...

I too have had this problem with my terrain model, I found no real solution other than to adapt the texture to the basic camera angel/distance.

I think this is wc3's engine fault.

I think the problem is mipmaps, if u r using 3dsmax 5 simply make 3 smaller vertions of ur skin(if u hav a 256*256 texture the 3 mipmaps should be 128*128,64*64 and 32*32. They should be named whatevernameurtexturehav_mip1.tga,whatevernameurtexturehav_mip2.tga,whatevernameurtexturehav_mip3.tg a
Thankz to Jumbo_Pie for making me know of mipmaps

nas uses the vertex editor from what I know.

Ya, but Mipmaps doesn't need special commands in the mdl, as far as I know. Yet I can't use them because I'm avoiding custom textures.
You're probably right TDR, at least in the wc3viewer and magos editor I don't have this problem. I'm using the farm texture now, and it works fine.
Thanks everyone.

Blizzard suck.

Mipmaps work in Warcraft? Last I knew they didn't.

they do and they do pretty well.

Check the tft mpq, some sunken ruins doodads use mipmaps.

Wow, very useful.
