Image Texture splatting.png thumb 250px Example of texture splatting. In computer graphics , texture splatting is a method for combining different texture computer graphics textures . The method works by applying an Transparency graphic alphamap to the higher levels, revealing the layers underneath where the alphamap is partially or completely transparent. The term was coined by Charles Bloom. ref http www.gamedev.net reference articles article2238.asp Texture Splatting in Direct3D ref Optimizations Since texture splatting is commonly used for terrain rendering in computer game s, various optimizations are required. Because the underlying principle is for each texture to have its own alpha channel , large amounts of computer memory memory can easily be consumed. As a solution to this problem, multiple alpha maps can be combined into one texture using the red channel for one map, the blue for another, and so on. This effectively uses a single texture to supply alpha maps for four real color textures. The alpha textures can also use a lower resolution than the color textures. Terrains can also be split into chunk s where each chunk can have its own textures. Say there is a certain texture on one part of the terrain that doesn t appear anywhere else on it it would be a waste of memory and processing time if the alpha map extended over the whole terrain if only 10 of it was actually required. If the terrain is split into chunks then the alpha map can also be split up according to the chunks and so now instead of 90 of that specific map being wasted only 20 may be.

In petrology , micrographic texture is a fine grained intergrowth of quartz and alkali feldspar , interpreted as the last product of consolidation dn in some igneous rock s which contain high or moderately high percentages of silica . Micropegmatite is an outmoded terminology for micrographic texture. This fine grained texture is similar to the coarser intergrowths in certain pegmatite s and coarse granitic veins the quartz forms angular patches scattered through a matrix of feldspar. In polarized light the separate areas of each mineral extinguish at the same time, and this proves that, even though apparently discontinuous, they have the same crystalline orientation. The feldspar may be considered an irregular crystal of spongy structure, the interstices being filled up by another spongy crystal of quartz. Some of the coarser grained examples are said to be graphic , because the intergrowths vaguely resemble ancient cuneiform lettering. Some micrographic intergrowths are similar to those characteristic of granophyre . Micrographic differs from graphic granite in being so much finer grained that the texture can only be seen in a petrographic thin section with a microscope . The feldspar is usually orthoclase , but can also be albite , oligoclase or microcline . In at least some instances, quartz is so disposed that the two minerals have a definite relation between their crystallographic axes. In rocks where micrographic texture is most common, it is usually interpreted as the last product of crystallization, and may represent residual melt. Commonly it has no definite form of its own, but fills up the irregular interspaces between the earlier crystallized minerals. The compositions of these residual crystallization products may represent eutectic compositions, the mixtures quartz plus feldspar plus minor amounts of other minerals which have the lowest fusion point. The texture ... compositional changes. The texture should not be confused with myrmekite or granophyre , in which ... more details
Texture in a painting is the feel of the canvas . It can be based on the paint, and its application, or addition materials such as ribbon, metal, wood, lace, leather and sand. Texture in painting stimulates two different senses, visual and tactile. There are four types of texture in art actual texture, simulated texture, abstract texture, and invented texture. The concept of Painterly painterliness also has bearing on texture in painting. Simulated texture A surface character that looks real. Abstract textureTexture that does not seem to match the object its connected with so it has the concept of the object translated in textural patterns Invented texture The creative way of adding alternate materials to create an interesting texture. Invented texture usually appears in abstract works, as they are entirely non objective.

In 3D computer graphics realtime computer graphics , a texture atlas is a large image, or atlas which contains many smaller sub images, each of which is a texture for some part of a 3D object. The sub textures can be rendered by modifying the texture coordinates of the object s UV mapping uvmap on the atlas, essentially telling it which part of the image its texture is in. In an Application software application where many small textures are used frequently, it is often more efficient to store the textures in a texture atlas which is treated as a unit by the Graphics processing unit graphics hardware . In particular, because there are less rendering state changes by binding once, it can be faster to bind one large texture once than to bind many smaller textures as they are drawn. For example, a Tile based video game tile based game would benefit greatly in performance from a texture atlas. Atlases can consist of uniformly sized sub textures, or they can consist of textures of varying sizes usually restricted to powers of two . In the latter case, the program must usually arrange the textures in an efficient manner before sending the textures to hardware. Manual arrangement of texture atlases is possible, and sometimes preferable, but can be tedious. If using Mipmap mipmaps , care must be taken to arrange the textures in such a manner as to avoid sub images being polluted by their neighbours.

Road surface texture are deviations from a planar surface, affecting the vehicle tyre interaction. Pavement texture is divided into Microtexture with wavelengths from 0 mm up to 0.5 mm Macrotexture with wavelengths from 0.5 mm up to 50 mm Megatexture roads with wavelengths from 50 mm up to 500 mm Microtexture MiTx provides dry friction and is a desired road property. Macrotexture MaTx is partly a desired property and partly an undesired property. Short MaTx waves, about 5 mm, acts as acoustical pores and reduce tyre road noise. On the other hand, long wave MaTx increase noise. MaTx provide wet road friction, especially at high speeds. Excessive MaTx increase rolling resistance and thus fuel consumption and CO sub 2 sub emission contributing to global warming . Proper roads have MaTx of about 1 mm Mean Profile Depth. Megatexture MeTx is pure road damage, causing noise and vibration. MeTx below 0.2 mm Root Mean Square is considered normal on proper roads. MaTx and MeTx are measured with laser inertial Profilograph s. Since MiTx has so short waves, it is preferably measured by dry friction brake tests rather than by profiling.
