In computer graphics, mipmaps (also MIP maps) or pyramids[1][2][3] are pre-calculated, optimized sequences of images, each of which is a progressively lower resolution representation of the previous. The height and width of each image, or level, in the mipmap is a factor of two smaller than the previous level. Mipmaps do not have to be square.

The mipmap bias of the Texture. A positive bias makes a Texture appear extra blurry, while a negative bias sharpens the Texture. Note that using large negative bias can reduce performance, so it's not recommended to use more than -0.5 negative bias.

Mip bias. A setting called mip bias can do two things during sampling, depending on your sampler settings: The mip bias can change the threshold for the GPU selecting a lower or higher mip for a sample. The GPU selects a specific mip when using point filtering in your sampler.

Apr 27, 2010 · Mipmapping bias is almost always best left unchanged. The default behaviour should keep the source texture resolution as high as possible while avoiding Moiré patterns (undersampling). If you are finding your textures too blurry, your first step should be to increase the anisotropic filtering level of the texture.

Jan 5, 2022 · The default LOD Bias in a game is typically 0.0, but by using a negative value for LOD Bias (e.g. -1.5), you can force mipmap levels to be moved further away, which can improve texture sharpness at the cost of introducing shimmering when textures are in motion.

Jul 3, 2021 · How to adjust Unity blurry textures on mipmaps to make textures less blurry at a distance without disabling mipmaps using the texture importer mipmap bias.

Aug 20, 2021 · Samples a texture, after applying the input bias to the mipmap level. <Template Type> Object.SampleBias( sampler_state S, float Location, float Bias [, int Offset] ); Parameters

Jan 28, 2016 · The TL;DR point is: set LOD bias to zero, and turn Anisotropic Filtering as high as it'll go. There is a second possible problem that can cause shimmering; I'll address this in a second reply.

Mip bias. A setting called mip bias can do two things while sampling, based on the sampler settings: The mip bias can change the threshold for the GPU selecting a lower or higher mip for a sample. The GPU selects a specific mip when you use point and linear filtering in a sampler.

Jul 6, 2015 · You can select the texture sample in the material editor and change the mip setting to either “Mip Bias” or “Mip Level”. ‘Mip bias’ lets you bias the existing mip values and ‘mip level’ lets you set it explicitly, such as with the “compute mip level” function.
