| Texture mapping is a technique for rendering fine surface details on an object without explicitly modeling the geometry. In texture mapping, a two-dimensional image, known as a texture map is projected onto the surface of an object. A texture maps may be either a procedurally defined function or an image, typically scanned or pre-computed. The rendering library provides both texture space shaders and color shaders to support texture mapping. | |||||
