They are commonly used to give texture to models, renders, or environments in animation or video games. [1] 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.
Solid texturing is a process where the texture generating function is evaluated over at each visible surface point of the model so the resulting material properties (like color, shininess or normal) depends only on their 3D position, not their parametrized 2D surface position like in traditional 2D texture mapping. Consequently, solid textures ...

In an application where many small textures are used frequently, it is often more efficient to store the textures in a texture atlas which is treated as a single unit by the graphics hardware. This reduces both the disk I/O overhead and the overhead of a context switch by increasing memory locality .
