Unigine.Texture Class
Interface for handling textures.
Textures are stored on GPU.
Unigine provides different filtering modes of texture samples:
- Point filtering
- Linear filtering
- Bilinear filtering
- Trilinear filtering
- Anisotropic filtering
They are ordered from worst visual quality to the best thus from least expensive performance cost to the most.
