Quote - Wouldn't it be smarter of texture filtering to instead wrap around to the next part of the mesh for the pixels instead of going into the "white" area?

Such a feature would be useful. But it would no longer be called texture filtering, since the algorithm would be very different, and it would no longer be fast.

Texture filtering is a 2D operation, having nothing to do with geometry and UV map. There's no part of the image itself that is recognizable as a UV edge, where the other side wraps around. It's all just one big image.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
