A mip map stores multiple resolutions of a texture image in one file. Each resolution is pre-filtered so that anti-aliased texture evaluation can be performed efficiently.

MIP stands for the Latin multum in parvo meaning many things in a small place.

For MIP mapping to work in mantra, textures should be created in rat format. For PrMan, the txmake utility should be used.
