These are the same exact texture files.

With Mipmapping:



So far the mipmapping not only improves the quality of the image, but the fps shot up 2.8x. I have one more improvement I wish to do that is a bit more code intensive, but should help performance as well.

Edit: Looks like the optimization I was aiming for isn't going to happen at this ti,e. Regardless, I am very happy with this improvement.

Nice work Croxis

[Orange_o_]

You make really an incredible work

croxis: add a directional light. It will look even nicer.

There is one, it is just pointing straight down

Put it at around 45 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, and also add one weaker ambient light to lighten the shadow areas a bit. That's the setup I use. It looks good.
