Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of determining the detail level of precomputed procedural textures for photorealistic rendering. We propose an approach based on a fast preliminary scene visualization with level of detail calculation based on mip-mapping. Proposed solution was tested for computing resolution of different types of procedural textures and image textures.
