What is LOD bias?

[littlegohan]

can someone explain what this is to me?

what does a higher lod value do?

i think it means Leve of Detail bias....basically, how sharp the textures look.

Oddly enough a NEGATIVE value looks better. Lemme guess you can choose a range from -3 to 3?

pick -3.....youll be able to notice a big differance when coupled with anisotropic filtering.
