| Material Texture Mapping |

The texture, also called texture map, is a bitmap Picture
which is used to add a pattern to an object’s surface,
like a transfer. Texture maps are useful to simulate
different kinds of material. For example it is possible
to use the image of a certain wood to give a floor a
parquetted look, or the image of a brick to decorate a
wall. |
