MipMapping (again)

• Recall definition of MipMapping

  • Texture stored in different maps, each with a varying level of detail

• Which map is used depends on how close the object being textured is to the viewer

• Each map is assigned a number called the ‘Level of Detail’ (LOD).

  • Largest map is assigned LOD = 0
  • Successive maps (each 1/4 the resolution of the proceeding) are assigned sequential LODs
