MIP Filter
Different algorithms of MIP-map generation
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Box | The simplest MIP-map generation algorithm. However, the box filter has a number of limitations that can be quite noticeable with certain textures. For example, if a texture contains very narrow features (e.g., lines), then aliasing artifacts may be very pronounced |
| Cubic | Generation with weighted sum of eight pixels. The advantage of the cubic filter over the box is that it can have negative side lobes (weights) which help maintain sharpness while reducing the image. This can help reduce some of the blurring effect of filtering with mipmaps |
