Polygon Texturing
Introduction
Texture maps let you modify the appearance of your 3D models and scenes in
Maya. Texture maps are images you apply and accurately position onto your
surfaces using a process called texture mapping. When an image is texture mapped
onto a surface, it alters the appearance of the surface in some unique way.
Texture maps let you create many interesting visual effects:
You can apply labels and logos to your surfaces.
You can apply surface relief details and features to a surface instead of having
to model the details on the surface directly.
You can use illustrations as texture maps to create interesting backdrops in
your scenes.
