What is trilinear filtering in SAP CA-VE - SAP Visual Enterprise?

SAP Term: trilinear filtering

• Component: CA-VE

• Component Name: SAP Visual Enterprise

• Description: The process of applying bilinear filtering to either side of a texture, causing extreme image smoothing and reducing noticeable pixelation.

• Key Concepts: 
  Trilinear filtering is a 3D texture filtering technique used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE). It is used to improve the quality of 3D images by smoothing out the jagged edges of textures and making them appear more realistic. Trilinear filtering works by sampling the texture at multiple points and then blending the samples together to create a smoother image. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Trilinear filtering can be enabled in SAP Visual Enterprise by selecting the “Enable Trilinear Filtering” option in the “Advanced Settings” menu. Once enabled, trilinear filtering will be applied to all 3D images rendered in SAP Visual Enterprise. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  Trilinear filtering can be used to improve the quality of 3D images without significantly increasing the amount of processing power required. However, it should be noted that trilinear filtering can also reduce performance if used on low-end hardware. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Trilinear filtering is similar to bilinear filtering, which is another 3D texture filtering technique. Bilinear filtering works by sampling the texture at two points and then blending the samples together to create a smoother image. However, trilinear filtering is more accurate than bilinear filtering as it samples the texture at three points instead of two.
