	Mipmap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An example of mipmap image storage: the principal image on the left is accompanied by filtered copies of reduced size.
		The increase in storage space required for all of these mipmaps is a third of the original texture, because the sum of the areas 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/256 +...
		Mipmapping was invented by Lance Williams in 1983 and is described in his paper Pyramidal parametrics.

	UnrealWiki: MipMap
		The engine uses MipMaps to reduce jitter on textured surfaces when they're viewed from a distance; this process is called bilinear filtering.
		Mipmaps should never be created for any texture that is going to be used for anything Interface-related.
		Mipmaps are purely aesthetic in their nature, so a good rule of thumb would be: If you can't see it in-game, it doesn't need mipmaps (excepting Interface content as mentioned above of course).

		I've also received a lot of feedback that there is a large variability in mipmap effects depending on the type of video card and drivers.
		As the distance to a mipmap sprite increases, the edges around the mask darken, forming a fl outline around the edges of the plants.
		So far, there seems to be no way to disable mipmap on textures that are applied as an action command or to terrain textures.

		A mipmap is a sequence of textures, each of which is a progressively lower resolution representation of the same image.
		A high-resolution mipmap image is used for objects that are close to the user.
		Mipmapping improves the quality of rendered textures at the expense of using more memory.

		However, the filtering is obviously incorrect except at the finest mipmap level.
		So, the correctness of our mipmap filtering depends on how many layers of texels are continuous at tile borders.
		Another incorrectness of our mipmap filtering is that we cannot build the mipmap all the way to the lowest resolution for the output virtual texture, since the lowest resolution mipmap level is determined by the input packing.

	Mipmapping
		A mipmap is an ordered set of arrays representing the same image; each array has a resolution lower than the previous one.
		Each array in a mipmap is transmitted to the GL using TexImage2D or TexImage1D ; the array being set is indicated with the level-of-detail argument.
		The mipmap is used in conjunction with the level of detail to approximate the application of an appropriately filtered texture to a fragment.

		Of course under real-world conditions the mipmap selection algorithm is much more complicated, as it needs to take into account distance from the viewer and the angle in viewspace.
		Trilinear uses the same mipmap selection algorithm as bilinear, except it samples from the two closest-sized mipmaps on either side, instead of just the closest one.
		However, this is assuming all mipmap levels appear in the same quantity throughout the scene (i.e.

		The MipMap node specifies a set of texture nodes containing low- and high-resolution versions of the same texture to be used for texturing geometry.
		In most cases, it is recommended to use automatic mip-mapping that can be enabled through the Use textures mip-mapping renderer option in Cortona.
		If automatic mip-mapping does not give the desired effect, the MipMap node should be used.

		// The easy case for mipmapping is when both dimensions are > 1.
		// If you start non-square, though, eventually you get to the point // where you have, say, a 1x16 mipmap level, and the next one down // is 1x8.
		At that point, you're no longer mapping a 2x2 square to // the next mipmap; instead you're mapping a 1x2 or 2x1 rectangle.

		Automatic mipmap generation is particularly useful when texture images are being provided as a video stream.
		The internal formats and border widths of the derived mipmap arrays all match those of the base array, and the dimensions of the derived arrays follow the requirements described in the Mipmapping section of the GL Specification.
		The result is that the set of mipmap arrays is complete as defined by the GL Specification.

	OFPN: Texture Tool
		Please be aware that bit depth of the exported texture may be lower than bit depth of your source image.
		During the export all mipmap levels of the texture will be created automatically.
		Higher resolution textures are fully supported by TexView tool and Flashpoint can work with them but it will always force to use 256 x 256 mipmap (maybe this will be changed in some future version of the game exe).

	Ogre Forums :: View topic - Mipmap transition distance.
		However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the mipmapping transitions to occur further away either through the api docs or the trusty forum search.
		Therefore the larger the area that the texture is stretched over, the further away the geometry can be before a mipmap transition happens.
		So basically, Mipmap lod bias is exactly what I want to change, and it seems to have been done before.

	MipMapping in 3dsmax
		Notice that in the close-up area, the central fl line is perfectly smooth on both sides (compare to Nearest/None!), but as it gets farther, it gets unprecise.
		This is a perfect demonstration of pure mipmapping without any interpolation.
		The texels are linearly interpolated inside a mipmap level texture with the same resolution, AND between texture resolution levels, giving a blur in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

		I was wondering if there is a command for ATI cards for Mipmap LOD Bias (OpenGL) like on nVidia with Rivatuner.
		I used to set my mipmap setting into the negative (sometimes -3.0 on one map) to really help see through certain textures from a distance on certain maps
		Well I know that the Q3 engine and most games running off that engine have the command 'r_lodbias (0, 1, or 2)', with 0 being the best quality.

		A combination of the advantages of 3D mipmapping and 4D mipmapping is achieved according to the invention by: storing texture maps in 3D mipmap format, reconstructing at least part of a 4D mipmap from said 3D mipmap on-the-fly, and mapping texture data from said 4D mipmap to corresponding pixel data defining said display image.
