Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for rendering texture in a graphics application, comprising: identifying, by one or more computing devices, a first level of detail associated with texture rendered in a first frame of a graphics application; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a second level of detail associated with texture in a second frame of the graphics application; and initiating, by the one or more computing devices, a temporal level of detail fade to transition between the first level of detail and the second level of detail, the temporal level of detail fade comprising the operations of: wherein the fade rate for the transition is dependent on a magnitude of a difference between the first level of detail and the second level of detail such that a constant transition time is provided regardless of the difference or number of levels between the first level of detail and the second level of detail.
