Abstract
A method and circuit for determining the address of texture maps in memory, when only the base address of the primary texture map is known. The various maps associated with a given texture are sized and stored in a manner that allows any texel in any of the maps to be located based on the map number and the base address of the primary map. A circuit is provided that determines the necessary addresses with minimal calculations.
