Questions tagged [textures]

Textures consist of a collection of images employed in computer-generated visual displays to link points on a surface with different values. This correlation is usually achieved by assigning locations on the texture (which are generally two-dimensional, but can come in various dimensions and formats) to positions on the displayed surface. To eliminate jagged edges when extracting values from the texture, filtering is commonly applied, which may include multiple images contained within a texture known as mipmaps.
