About

Mipmap Explorer is an interactive tool for visualizing how mipmapping works in texture mapping. It lets you explore mipmap levels, see how texture filtering reduces aliasing artifacts, and understand LOD (level of detail) selection in real time.

Built as a companion visualization for Stanford CS248A: Interactive Computer Graphics.
