Mipmap selection in too much detail
In this post, I want to shed some light on something I’ve been wondering about for a while: How exactly are mipmap levels selected when sampling textures on the GPU? If you already know what mipmapping is, why we use it, and what pixel derivatives (ddx() / ddy()) are, you can skip to the section Derivatives to mipmap levels. The post does, however, assume some knowledge of graphics programming.
