Pre-compute hierarchical filtered versions of the texture and create a multi-resolution image pyramid.
The various textures can be efficiently assembled in a single mip-map
(from latin: multum in parvo, meaning "much in a small space").
Depending on the resolution needed on the scree, use suitable level of the texture,
applying tri-linear filtering: in texture coordinates and in map level.
