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.

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

There is one, it is just pointing straight down :D

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.
