Texture.Why we need texture?- Modeling surface details is one of the mostimportant tasks for rendering realistic images.: For example, if we want to model a brick wall.: One option: use a huge number of polygonswith appropriate surface coloring andreflectance characteristics to model the surfacedetails

Texture.Why weneed texture?- However, in most applications, few people wouldcare much about the details of the brick wall andwould normally view the wall from a distance.- In this situation, we probably don't need to knowall the details of the brick wall. Instead, we cansimply model the wall as a big flat polygon, andpaste onto the polygon a wall image so that thepolygon looks like a real brick wall

Texture. What is Texture?- This image, which is an approximation to thereal brick wall, is called texture in graphics- The process of applying the texture to anobject surface is called texture mapping (纹理映射)or texturing (贴纹理)

Texture. Why texture is useful?- Texturing resolves the two problems.. First, by representing the surface as a textureimage, you don't have to painfully model allthe geometric and material details. This savestime and resources and allow users to do othermore important things

Texture: Second, by rendering a rough polygonal model(e.g. a single square polygon for a brick wall)and a texture instead of a detailed geometricalmodel with different BRDFs, the rendering canbe done much more efficiently, either via raytracer or hardware . This saves computerstime andresources
