Abstract
In one embodiment, a system may determine a sampling location within a texture with each texel encoding first and second distance fields and first and second color indices. The system may select, based on the sampling location, a set of texels to use to determine a color for the sampling location. The system may compute first and second interpolated distance fields based on, respectively, the first and second distance fields of the set of texels. The system may select, based on the first interpolated distance field, a subset of the set of texels, and select a texel from the subset of texels based on a distance between the texel and the sampling location. The system may select, based on the second interpolated distance filed, a color index from the first and second color indices of the selected texel and use it to determine the color for the sampling location.
