I used the first mipmap level as an example of the effect at any given mipmap reduction level, not an artificial limit. Mipmap level is determinied by virtual viewing distance to the object and image filtering mechanisms. For any given mipmap level, a mipmap for a higher resolution texture compared to a mipmap of a lower resolution texture will have the same size ratio as their base images. So the initial texture size makes a substantial difference. -Gary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
