3d textures
In computer graphic terminology, 3d texture is highly
important and useful than one dimensional or two dimensional
textures. 3d textures are very essential in conveying the ideas
of a graphic related work and it is followed by 3d texture
mapping, that sieves a 3d texture map.
When working with 3d textures, performance is the major
concern because the 3d textures will consume a lot of memory
area.
Certain measures have to be adopted to ensure optimum
functionality of 3d textures, when memory concerns are there in
the picture.
Special care has to be taken to keep
the textures as small as possible. Compression techniques can
very well serve the purpose and has to be adopted for the
same.
It is desirable to keep the bit wise depth of texture very
low and redundant use of Volume textures can accelerate the
performance gain.
Light mapping has a significant role in making the scene
absolutely stupendous. Light mapping was developed to light the
geometrical shapes that give the scenery an extra edge. The
outcome will be brilliant at the expense of a bit additional
memory area for storing the light maps.
But, it is not feasible a solution to
give light maps to complex geometrical shapes. 3d textures
offer a best solution for representing real time objects in
computer graphics. Other areas where, 3d texture finds great
application are volume rendering, 3D detail texturing etc.
Complex geometrical shapes need to be textured. Experiments
and experiences have proved that, it is more manageable and
desirable a task to go with three dimensional texturing. Two
dimensional texturing are normally not preferred due to its
complexity and due to the behavior of outcomes.
The case is made crystal clear when it comes to a
geometrical shape, which is generated online. There exists
hardly any way through which you can go with a two dimensional
texture. Here, 3d texture axes have to be exploited to get
things done.
