TEXTURING

What is TEXTURING?

Texturing is a crucial skill in animation and VFX, involving the creation and application of detailed surface materials, patterns, and colors to 3D models. It enhances the visual realism of characters, environments, and props by simulating materials like metal, wood, fabric, and skin. Using industry-standard tools like Adobe Substance Painter, Blender, and Maya, texturing artists craft high-quality maps such as diffuse, specular, and normal maps to add depth, texture, and lighting effects. This skill is essential for producing photorealistic visuals in films, games, and digital media, making it a cornerstone of professional 3D content creation workflows.
