Using texture mip-map modes

• Mip-mapping is an anti-aliasing technique that uses different texture versions (levels) at different distances from the user

• You can have any number of levels

• Level 0 is the base image used when the user is close

• Mip-maps can be computed automatically from a base image:

  • Use a mip-mapping mode of BASE_LEVEL

• Or you can specify each image level explicitly:

  • Use a mip-mapping mode of MULTI_LEVEL_MIPMAP
