The secret is to use 2 different versions of the texture map… 1 for extremely close-ups (very high res) and the other for medium animated shots. You wouldn't want to use a huge map for the medium shots, so you don't overload the pyramidal or summed-area table buffers. But you need a very high-res map when you're very tight on the map. The Kodak Photo-CD method is a good source of clean high-res data for maps. – G
