View source for BilinearFiltering

Bilinear filtering is a method of texture filtering, often used for [[MIPMapping|MIP mapping]]. 

Since the [[Texel|texels]] are almost always larger or smaller than the screen [[Pixel|pixels]], it tries to find a MIP-map with texels that are closest in size to the screen pixels. Then it [[Interpolation|interpolates]] the four texels that are the nearest to each screen pixel in order to render each new screen pixel.
