Textures add realistic surface detail to models without the need for complex geometric transformations.

A texture uses an image or video clip. You can have many textures based on the same image with different texture settings.

The Texture settings let you do the following:

• Apply images, or video clips to selected models, planes, or cameras
• Add depth, color, and patterns to objects in your scene
• Adjust or animate the placement of textures on your model
• Change the texture type for use with shaders
