  2. Cube mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_mapping

    This illustration shows how a cube map is indexed and addressed. A cube texture indexes six texture maps from 0 to 5 in order Positive X, Negative X, Positive Y, Negative Y, Positive Z, Negative Z. [5] [6] The images are stored with the origin at the lower left of the image. The Positive X and Y faces must reverse the Z coordinate and the ...

  3. Skybox (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skybox_(video_games)

    A skybox is a method of creating backgrounds to make a video game level appear larger than it really is. [1] When a skybox is used, the level is enclosed in a cuboid.The sky, distant mountains, distant buildings, and other unreachable objects are projected onto the cube's faces (using a technique called cube mapping), thus creating the illusion of distant three-dimensional surroundings.

  4. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    A texture map [5] [6] is an image applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape or polygon. [7] This may be a bitmap image or a procedural texture.They may be stored in common image file formats, referenced by 3D model formats or material definitions, and assembled into resource bundles.

  5. UV mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping

    The application of a texture in the UV space related to the effect in 3D. A representation of the UV mapping of a cube. The flattened cube net may then be textured to texture the cube. UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of projecting a 3D model's surface to a 2D image for texture mapping.

  7. Lightmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightmap

    Cube with a simple lightmap (shown on the right). A lightmap is a data structure used in lightmapping, a form of surface caching in which the brightness of surfaces in a virtual scene is pre-calculated and stored in texture maps for later use.

  8. Reflection mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_mapping

    An environment texture mapped onto models of spoons, to give the illusion that they are reflecting the world around them. In computer graphics, reflection mapping or environment mapping [1] [2] [3] is an efficient image-based lighting technique for approximating the appearance of a reflective surface by means of a precomputed texture.

  9. Bitmap textures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmap_textures

    If the texture is meant to be used in multimedia, 3D animation or web design, they are created in a maximum resolution equal to that of the final display. Vector graphics are an alternative to bitmap images and are made of geometric shapes, lines and curves which rely on mathematical formulas to maintain their shape.
