copied!<p>First of all you need to <strong>enable mipmaps for your texture</strong>. If it's just a stand-alone asset, you can select it in Solution Explorer, press F4 to get to properties, expand the "Content Processor" node and set "Generate Mipmaps" to true.</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnhar/archive/2011/04/29/texture-aliasing.aspx" rel="noreferrer">This article by Shawn Hargreaves explains why</a>. Look at the difference between these two pictures from that article:</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-70-20-metablogapi/2388.image_5F00_401AFB8B.png" rel="noreferrer">http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-70-20-metablogapi/2388.image_5F00_401AFB8B.png</a></p> <p><a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-70-20-metablogapi/6518.image_5F00_1B896E07.png" rel="noreferrer">http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-70-20-metablogapi/6518.image_5F00_1B896E07.png</a></p> <p>(Looks a lot like your example images, doesn't it?)</p> <p>Then, if you're going to be viewing at such oblique angles, you need to <strong>enable anisotropic filtering</strong> (Layoric explained how in his answer). This image from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering" rel="noreferrer">wikipedia</a> illustrates what anisotropic filtering is for - note how it horizontally "un-blurs" the background (which was caused by the mipmaps).</p> <p><a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/Anisotropic_compare.png" rel="noreferrer">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/Anisotropic_compare.png</a></p>
