Mipmap Detail Level

Mipmapping is a texturing technique that pre-
serves the detail on a 3D object’s surface as it
moves into the background. A series of low- and
high-resolution texture maps are stored in memory
and selectively used to create the object’s surface,
depending on what level of detail is needed.
Mipmap detail level can be set to favor either an
increase in system processing performance or
improved image quality:
Setting for performance is best used when the 3D
image is animated and smoothness of motion is
the most important consideration.
Setting for quality is best used when high surface
detail is required, especially if the animated
object rotates or moves into the background.
