  2. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    Affine texture mapping linearly interpolates texture coordinates across a surface, and so is the fastest form of texture mapping. Some software and hardware (such as the original PlayStation ) project vertices in 3D space onto the screen during rendering and linearly interpolate the texture coordinates in screen space between them.

  3. Projective texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_texture_mapping

    Projective texture mapping is a method of texture mapping that allows a textured image to be projected onto a scene as if by a slide projector. Projective texture mapping is useful in a variety of lighting techniques and it is the starting point for shadow mapping .

  4. 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 ...

  5. UVW mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UVW_mapping

    The UVW mapping is suitable for painting an object's surface based on a solid texture. This allows a marble texture to wrap a vase to appear as if it were carved from actual marble. "UVW", like the standard Cartesian coordinate system, has three dimensions; the third dimension allows texture maps to wrap in complex ways onto irregular surfaces ...

  6. Texture mapping unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping_unit

    Texture fill rate is a measure of the speed with which a particular card can perform texture mapping. Though pixel shader processing is becoming more important, this number still holds some weight. Best example of this is the X1600 XT. This card has a 3 to 1 ratio of pixel shader processors/texture mapping units.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.
