The presentation looks at the different types of texture mapping you can get in 3D software

1. TEXTURE MAPPING

2. Overview
 Texture mapping is a technique for adding
detail to 3D geometry (or objects) by using an
image.

3. Bump maps
 Bump mapping is a method of simulating
bumps and wrinkles on to the surface of an
object. The surface of the underlying object is
not actually changed.

4. Normal Mapping
 Normal Mapping is the most common variation of
bump mapping used. It is a technique used for
faking the lighting of bumps and dents.
 A common use of this technique is to take a low
resolution model and using tricks to make it look
like a higher resolution.

5. Parallax mapping
 Parallax mapping (also
called offset mapping or
virtual displacement
mapping) is an
enhancement of the
bump mapping
techniques .
 At steeper view-angles,
the texture coordinates
are displaced more,
giving the illusion of
depth due to parallax
effects as the view
changes.

6. Displacement Mapping
 Displacement mapping is an
alternative technique that uses
using a height map to cause an
effect where the actual
geometric position of points
over the textured surface are
displaced.
 It gives surfaces a great sense
of depth and detail, permitting
in particular self-occlusion, self-
shadowing and silhouettes;
 It is the most costly of this class
of techniques owing to the
large amount of additional
geometry.
