Shaders can be created on the fly from within an application, or read-in as text files, but must be sent to the driver in the form of a string.
The application of a texture in the UV space related to the effect in 3D. A representation of the UV mapping of a cube.The flattened cube net may then be textured to texture the cube.
The shader does not (or cannot) directly access 3D data for the entire scene (this would be very slow, and would result in an algorithm similar to ray tracing) and a variety of techniques have been developed to render effects like shadows and reflections using only texture mapping and multiple passes.

Autodesk Softimage is a discontinued 3D computer graphics application, for producing 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling, and computer animation.Now owned by Autodesk and formerly titled Softimage XSI (stylized as Softimage|XSI), the software has been predominantly used in the film, video game, and advertising industries for creating computer generated characters, objects, and environments.
The maps have little visual clutter and stylized, almost impressionistic modeling, to allow enemies to be spotted more easily. The impressionistic design approach also affects textures , which are based on photos that are filtered and edited by hand, giving them a tactile quality and giving Team Fortress 2 its distinct look.
