ABSTRACT
W e continue to explore methods to attire objects and enhance realism, which we began in the last chapter with color and light. The topic of this chapter is texturing. Textures are a
vital part of the wardrobe available to designers. Texturing makes it possible to create lifelike scenes at acceptable costs. It’s an enormously important technique in modern-day CG. We’ll examine how texturing is implemented in OpenGL and various aspects of texturing in practice. Textures can be combined, as well, with color and light to good effect, as we’ll see.
