[Question] Transparent black layer?

[opyrus]

So i made a Draenei with Succubus skin. its been done before, but i could never find the patch to check it out; so i made my own. its all fine, except for the transparent black layer around the model that only fades when you zoom in close. Unfortunately i've read about this before, but never really payed attention, though if i recall, its extremely easy to fix. anyone know?

The model's mip levels are apparently black. WoW's textures have multiple mip levels, which are essentially smaller versions of the texture that the game uses when the model is far from the camera and doesn't need the full resolution texture.

To fix, you will need to find a png<->blp conversion tool that doesn't suck. I recommend BLPConverter, which you can find at curse gaming.
