Package X3dForAdvancedModeling.TextureMapping

package X3dForAdvancedModeling.TextureMapping

This chapter demonstrates techniques for texture mapping, multitextures, and 3D textures.

Texture mapping maps images to geometry nodes.

• Images can be provided by ImageTexture, MovieTexture or PixelTexture nodes.
• TextureCoordinate and TextureCoordinateGenerator can select image-texture coordinates for direct matching with geometry vertices. Animation can be provided by TexCoordChaser2D and TexCoordDamper2D
• TextureProperties provides precise fine-grained control over application of image textures to geometry.
• TextureTransform shifts 2D texture coordinates for positioning, orienting and scaling image textures on geometry.

Multitexture techniques apply multiple textures to a single set of geometry, enabling a variety of visual effects such as light mapping and environment mapping.

• MultiTexture node can contain multiple ImageTexture, MovieTexture and PixelTexture nodes.
• MultiTextureCoordinate node can contain TextureCoordinate or TextureCoordinateGenerator nodes.
• MultiTextureTransform node contains TextureTransform nodes that correspond to each texture image.

3D texture techniques apply volumetric textures that describe a volume in space, rather than a flat surface.

• ComposedTexture3D, ImageTexture3D and PixelTexture3D define 3D image-based texture maps.
• TextureCoordinate3D and TextureCoordinate4D map 3D textures to vertices.
• TextureTransform3D and TextureTransformMatrix3D apply a 3D transformation to texture coordinates.

The X3D Java Scene Access Interface (x3djsail) package provides concrete classes for each X3D node and statement.
