What is MIP mapping and how does it work?
What are mipmaps in computer graphics?
- In computer graphics, mipmaps (also MIP maps) or pyramids are pre-calculated, optimized sequences of images, each of which is a progressively lower resolution representation of the same image. The height and width of each image, or level, in the mipmap is a power of two smaller than the previous level.
What are MIPS in video games?
- To render a texture more smoothly in a game, it is resized multiple times to make "mips," which are smaller versions of the texture. These smaller versions are swapped or blended with the original texture as the texture recedes in the scene.
What is an unsourced mipmap?
