Abstract
A method and system for performing texture mapping across adjacent texture maps. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method, which includes the steps of determining whether a texel crosses a boundary of a first texture map, examining a first texture state identifier associated with the first texture map, and requesting for a second texture state identifier associated with a second texture map that is adjacent to the first texture map to enable traversal to the second texture map to access the texel if the first texture state identifier includes a mode indicative of wrapping to an adjacent texture map and texture adjacency information that points to a second texture map.
