A solid texture is a material shader that renders an object as if it were carved out of a single piece of some material. The solid wood and blue marble color shaders in the basic shader library are examples of solid textures. Solid textures calculate shading values for points on the surface of primitives as a function of their world coordinate. This is in contrast to the use of parametric coordinates by wrapped textures.
