Storing MIP Maps
One convienent method of storing a MIP map is shown below (It also nicely illustrates the 1/3 overhead of maintaining the MIP map).



We must make a few small modifications to our rasterizer to compute the MIP map level. Remember the equations that we derived last lecture for mapping screen-space interpolants to their 3-space equivalent.
