Abstract
A method and system for filtering a texture map representing three-dimensional objects or texture projections of environments is provided. Specifically, the three-dimensional object or texture projection is divided into a plurality of faces, which are stored in the texture map. Filtering of a texel or pixel near the edge of a first face includes a plurality of texels from the second face. A pointer and a stride parameter are stored in the texture map and used in the selection of the texels from the second face to be used in the filtering of the texel in the first face.
