Streaming Controller

The Streaming Controller component is part of the Texture Streaming system. Add a Streaming Controller to GameObjects if you want to use Texture Streaming to load their mip maps into Unity at run time.

Property Description
Mip Map Bias Use this setting to force Unity to load smaller or larger mipmap levels than the one that the Texture Streaming system has chosen for those Textures. Use the numerical field to set the offset that Unity applies to the mipmap level. Unity adds this offset to all Textures visible from this Camera.

To control this via API, use StreamingController.streamingMipmapBias.
