Any way to get sheen on dx level 80/81?

[halcyon cairn]

I really want the "blurried textures" by setting mat_picmip to 2 and mat_filtertextures to 1. But aparrently this only really works on dx 80/81. But I really really like my killstreak sheen. Is there any work around to this?

afaik i don't think there's a way to enable killstreak sheens on dx8 unfortunately

i think i know what you're talking about with the textures, but the same settings on dx9 don't result in blurred textures?

They do but they aren't as blurred.

would lod bias help with your goal or is that different?
