Talk:Moiré pattern

Moire patterns vs Anisotropy

Mip maps improve anisotropy, the appearance of textures from an oblique angle, keeping the textures from looking blurred in the distance. They don't help much with Moire patterning artifacts. The Moire effect is usually caused by high contrast, underscaled textures seen from a distance, but not at the oblique angles where mipmapping helps. This article should be moved to Anisotropy, Anisotropic filtering, or mipmapping.--Jefe (talk) 02:52, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
