How can I implement advanced texturing techniques in C++ graphics API?

You can implement advanced texturing techniques by using shaders, texture atlases, and mipmapping. Would you like details on any specific technique?

Yes, can you explain how texture atlases work?

Texture atlases combine multiple textures into a single image to reduce draw calls. You map UV coordinates to the correct section of the atlas.

What are the benefits of using mipmapping?

Mipmapping improves rendering performance and visual quality by using pre-calculated, smaller versions of textures based on distance from the camera.

Are there any libraries you recommend for handling textures in C++?

Yes, libraries like SDL, SFML, and OpenGL provide great support for texture management and rendering.
