  2. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    A texture map [5] [6] is an image applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape or polygon. [7] This may be a bitmap image or a procedural texture.They may be stored in common image file formats, referenced by 3D model formats or material definitions, and assembled into resource bundles.

  3. Polynomial texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_texture_mapping

    Polynomial texture mapping (PTM), also known as Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), is a technique of imaging and interactively displaying objects under varying lighting conditions to reveal surface phenomena.

  4. Texture mapping unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping_unit

    Texture units in a video card take a texture and 'map' it to a piece of geometry. That is, they wrap the texture around the geometry and produce textured pixels which can then be written to the screen. Textures can be an actual image, a lightmap, or even normal maps for advanced surface lighting effects.

  5. Relief mapping (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_mapping_(computer...

    In computer graphics, relief mapping is a texture mapping technique first introduced in 2000 [1] used to render the surface details of three-dimensional objects accurately and efficiently. [2] It can produce accurate depictions of self-occlusion, self-shadowing, and parallax. [3] It is a form of short-distance ray tracing done in a pixel shader.

  6. Texel (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texel_(graphics)

    In computer graphics, a texel, texture element, or texture pixel is the fundamental unit of a texture map. [1] Textures are represented by arrays of texels representing the texture space, just as other images are represented by arrays of pixels. Texels can also be described by image regions that are obtained through simple procedures such as ...

  7. Bitmap textures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmap_textures

    These textures are created by artists or designers using bitmap editor software such as Adobe Photoshop [2] or GIMP, [3] or simply by scanning an image and, if necessary, retouching it on a personal computer. Bitmap images are typically made up of pixels, and each individual pixel represents a single point of color. By adjusting their size ...

  8. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of projecting a 3D model's surface to a 2D image for texture mapping. The letters "U" and "V" denote the axes of the 2D texture because "X", "Y", and "Z" are already used to denote the axes of the 3D object in model space, while "W" (in addition to XYZ) is used in calculating quaternion rotations, a common ...

    It can use any external image for the basis of the bump map or alternatively the user can pick out the hue, saturation, luminance or red, green, or blue channel of the current image. It can then offset, scale and rotate the texture map, control its lighting, and even blend in a reflection map.
