Texture Mipmaps

Video Lecture

Texture Mipmaps Texture Mipmaps Texture Mipmaps

Description

Mipmapping is a texture rendering technique that is applied on a per-texture basis.

When mipmapping is enabled (default), the GPU will use different size versions of a texture to render a surface depending on how far away it is from the camera.

Magnification Filters

Defines the textures magnification function to be used when the pixel being textured maps to an area less than or equal to one texture element (texel).

texture.magFilter =

  • THREE.NearestFilter
  • THREE.LinearFilter (Default)

Minification Filters

Defines the textures minifying function that is used when the pixel being textured maps to an area greater than one texture element (texel).

texture.minFilter =

  • THREE.NearestFilter
  • THREE.NearestMipmapNearestFilter
  • THREE.NearestMipmapLinearFilter
  • THREE.LinearFilter
  • THREE.LinearMipmapNearestFilter
  • THREE.LinearMipmapLinearFilter (Default)
