Textures

What are Textures?

Textures are skins that are added over a 3D model to make it look more realistic or stylised. Most textures are photographic pictures of different materials; wood, metal, etc. To bring a model to life, you'll need textures to create the effect of what it's suppose to look like, e.g. If I created a 3D model of a table, the colour will be grey and plain, I would use a wood texture to make it look more realistic and pleasing to the eye.

With the face texture, they'll wrap it around the character's head of the 3D model and it will look like a normal person so long everything is in the right place.
