Abstract
A rendering method includes generating mipmap images of some levels with respect to texture and storing the generated mipmap images in a storage, receiving a request for the texture, calculating a level of a mipmap requested for the texture, determining whether the stored mipmap images include the mipmap image of the calculated level, and performing rendering by using at least one of the stored mipmap images, based on a result of the determining.
Claims22
A rendering method comprising:
- generating, using a processor, mipmap images of some levels with respect to texture and storing the generated mipmap images in a storage;
- receiving, at the processor, a request for the texture;
- calculating, using the processor, a level of a mipmap requested for the texture;
- determining, using the processor, whether the stored mipmap images comprise a mipmap image of the calculated level;
- and
- performing rendering, at the processor, by using at least one of the stored mipmap images, based on a result of the determining.

A rendering apparatus comprising:
- a storage configured to store mipmap images of some levels that are previously generated with respect to texture;
- and
- a processor comprising
- a determiner configured to receive a request for the texture, calculate a level of a mipmap requested for the texture, and determine whether the stored mipmap images comprise a mipmap image of the calculated level, and
- a renderer configured to perform rendering by using at least one of the stored mipmap images, based on a result of the determination.

A rendering method comprising:
- storing mipmap images of some mipmap levels;
- receiving, at a processor, a request for texture;
- determining, using the processor, whether the stored mipmap images comprise a mipmap image of a mipmap level matching a mipmap level requested in the request for texture;
- and
- performing rendering, at the processor, by using at least one of the stored mipmap images, based on a result of the determining.
