Texture and Mapping

Digital images that are generated using algorithms rather than being created using traditional methods such as painting or photography.

• Natural texture

• Stochastic texture

• Procedural texture

• Artificial texture

A texture created using a mathematical description (i.e. an algorithm) rather than directly stored data.

• Natural texture

• Stochastic texture

• Procedural texture

• Artificial texture

They are often used in computer graphics, video games, and other applications where high-quality, realistic textures are required.

• Natural texture

• Stochastic texture

• Procedural texture

• Artificial texture

Digital images that are generated using algorithms rather than being created using traditional methods.

• Natural texture

• Stochastic texture

• Procedural texture

• Artificial texture

The advantage of this approach is low storage cost, unlimited texture resolution and easy texture mapping.

• Natural texture

• Stochastic texture

• Procedural texture

• Artificial texture

add realism and interest to computer graphics images

• Natural texture

• mapping techniques

• texturization

• mipmapping

Two categories of textures

• tactile and visual textures

• natural and artificial textures

• linear and nonlinear textures

• 2D and 3D textures

refer to the immediate tangible feel of a surface. 

• tactile texture

• visual texture

• natural texture

• 2D texture

refer to the visual impression that textures produce to human observer, which are related to local spatial variations of simple stimuli like colour, orientation and intensity in an image. 

• tactile texture

• visual texture

• natural texture

• 2D texture

applies a pattern of color to an object.

• computer graphics

• visual texture

• texturization

• texture mapping
