Množina reči texture mapping je texture mappings.

In 3-D graphics, the process of adding detail to an object by creating a picture or a pattern that can be “wrapped” around the object. For example, a texture map of stones might be wrapped around a pyramid shape to create a realistic image. Texture mapping can also account for changes in perspective as the picture is wrapped around the shape. The technique is valued in 3-D graphics because it enables creation of detailed images without the performance degradation that can result from the computation required to manipulate images created with large numbers of polygons.
