So I have a surface that is 129 x 129 vertices.And that surface must be textured.
This is what's happening: I'm gonna use a 2000 x 2000 texture.

First time,I will just simply use it,I'll just sample from it.Here's the result:








Now,I'll do something else.I'm gonna tile the texture.So this is what I'll do: multiply every vertex's texture coord. with 5. This is the result:



NOTE: Ignore the water!! Also,the same exact texture is used in both cases.

The question is: Why the first time when I use nothing but the raw texture,everything looks so big(no minification),and the second time when I actually repeat the texture 5 times,minification appears?

So If I make a 10.000 x 10.000 image in photoshop,and add those 2.000 x 2.000 images 5 times,to fill that 10.000 image,and put that image in my app,would I get the same results as I got in photo 2?

(actually tried that,app crashed:))
