What problem does it solve?

Generating mipmapped textures with multiple levels and proper filtering is essential to reduce aliasing and maintain visual quality in SDL3 GPU pipelines; this skill provides a structured approach to creating, managing, and sampling mipmaps for textures.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Mipmap generation: create textures with multiple mip levels and auto-generate levels via SDL_GenerateMipmapsForGPUTexture.
• Sampler configuration: choose mipmap filtering modes (trilinear, bilinear+nearest, or none) and set min/max LOD.
• Procedural textures & LOD control: supports procedural texture generation and exposes min_lod, max_lod, and mip_lod_bias for rendering quality.
• Use Case: optimizes distant surfaces by enabling smooth mip transitions and reducing aliasing in SDL3 GPU scenes.

Quick Start

Create a mipmapped texture, upload the base level, generate all mip levels outside any render/pass, and bind a trilinear sampler for rendering.
