	Texture
		Texture is something which we feel when we interact with our surroundings.
		Texture can be "felt" with our eyes also.
		This is in sharp textural contrast to the smooth image of the baby.

	Gamasutra - Features "Understanding and Using OpenGL Texture Objects" [07.23.99]
		These texture objects have been available for quite some time as extensions to OpenGL 1.0 because of their incredible performance benefits.
		Texture objects can improve your textured rendering performance by more than 10 times using the same hardware.
		Typically, you load a texture image from either a disk file or a memory resource, or you generate it procedurally.

	Texture, colour
		An introduction to texture tiling using characteristics of the texture itself.
		These textures may be freely used as backgrounds, textures in 3D scenes, parts of images, etc but they may not be redistributed as (or part of) a texture collection.
		By clicking on any texture you will be given a page with the texture as a tiled background image where you can visually inspect the result of a straightforward tiling.

		Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly, the list is endless.
		In this granite sculpture, the large part of the bottom of the nearest column and at the top of the column in the background is rough and rocky, while the narrow parts of the two columns are smooth and polished.
		This garden bench is made of three different materials, each with its own texture: a highly polished vertical granite anchor, the horizontal slab of cedar, and a roughly textured unfinished green rock called basalt.

	TERMINAL Studio - Utilities - TextureWorkshop
		Texture Workshop is a multifunctional toolbox which allows to turn practically any picture into a repeatable tile very quickly and easily.
		Such tiles are used as backgrounds of webpages, as wallpapers, as textures for 3D objects and for many other purposes.
		The same can be done with a small fragment of a texture (marble, wood, water waves, tissue etc.) to produce a smooth and limitless surface.

	Texture Synthesis
		texture synthesis for near-regular texture departing along the color and intensity axes while the underlying geometric regularity is well preserved.
		We view such textures as statistical departures from regular patterns and argue that a thorough understanding of their structures in terms of their translation symmetries can enhance existing methods of texture synthesis.
		We demonstrate the perils of texture synthesis for near-regular texture and the promise of faithfully preserving the regularity as well as the randomness in a near-regular texture sample.

	The Online POV-Ray Tutorial: Texture
		This texture was sort of designed to look like a molten planet or a dying star, but it's up to your imagination.
		Any transformations of the texture must appear either inside the individual textures (which are to be tiled) or outside the tiles block altogether.
		A tiled texture may be used as one of the textures in another tiled texture to create a double-tiled texture (but you'll have to scale the inner one down or it'll overlap exactly with the outer one).

	Texture
		"Texture", in music, describes two areas of musical phenomena: (1) melodic and harmonic relationships and (2) the density of the simultaneous layering of different musical components.
		Considering musical texture in our second broad interpretation (the density of the simultaneous layering of different musical components) it should be noted that music also has a quality of thinness or thickness, transparency or opaqueness.
		The qualifiers "thin", "thick", "transparent", "opaque", "light" and "dense" are good companions to the term "texture" when describing the effect of relative fullness of musical sound upon the listener not only for Western music but for all world musics.

	Soil Development: Soil Properties
		Soil texture refers to the relative proportion of sand, silt and clay size particles in a sample of soil.
		Soils that are dominated by clay are called fine textured soils while those dominated by larger particles are referred to as coarse textured soils.
		The sides of the soil texture triangle are scaled for the percentages of sand, silt, and clay.

		We are interested in investigating the effect of texture orientation on shape perception, with the goal of determining how to use texture to enhance the representation of surface shape for visualization applications.
		These are examples of some of the sample textures and textured surfaces that we have used in our latest experiments investigating the effect of various texture characteristics on shape perception.
		These textures were very easy to create but they have the disadvantage that they can only represent one of the two principal directions at a time.

	Texture Replacement In Real Image
		The goal is to replace some specified texture patterns in an image while preserving lighting effects, shadows and occlusions.
		Candidate texture regions are determined by mutual information between the standard tile and each image patch.
		Maximum a posteriori estimation of the texture segmentation and lighting map is solved in a stochastic annealing fashion, namely, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method.

	: Class Texture
		The Texture object is a component object of an Appearance object that defines the texture properties used when texture mapping is enabled.
		The Texture object is an abstract class and all texture objects must be created as either a Texture2D object or a Texture3D object.
		Repeats the texture by wrapping texture coordinates that are outside the range [0,1].

		To properly map a texture onto a quad, you have to make sure the top right of the texture is mapped to the top right of the quad.
		The top left of the texture is mapped to the top left of the quad, the bottom right of the texture is mapped to the bottom right of the quad, and finally, the bottom left of the texture is mapped to the bottom left of the quad.
		If the corners of the texture do not match the same corners of the quad, the image may appear upside down, sideways, or not at all.

	The World of Texture. Introduction - webreference.com
		Most textures on computer screen are analogous to some material surfaces, although cyber-textures have a number of unique features irreproducible in real-world objects.
		colors, textures on the screen can be more varied than those in print, since the glossy paper of magazines or the coarse raster of newspaper prints often dampen the fine texture in the image.
		A texture (again, just like color) needs to be stretched over some space in order to be perceivable, and it is therefore more often that a (larger) background plate---or the whole web page background---has a marked texture while a (smaller) element placed over the textured plane is more likely to be plain flat.

	mezzoblue § Texture
		All textures sit on a layer over top of the basic brown square, and were converted to greyscale (by hitting CTRL+U (Cmd+U) and adjusting the Saturation slider to the far left) then blended using the ‘Overlay’ blending mode.
		I was surprised after looking at the css zen garden how many designers used textures for their backgrounds, including a few of the turf variety.
		Nice article, in these days I’ve been seeing many blogs making great use of textures, two examples are http://www.cameronmoll.com and http://www.whatdoiknow.org/, and of course the Blogger templates, created by some of the known guys.

	GameDev.net - Texture Splatting in Direct3D
		All it requires is one texture unit for the alphamap, one texture unit for the texture, and the correct blending states.
		The mul instruction multiplies the first texture by its alphamap, which is stored in the red channel of the texture in sampler 0.
		It can be disguised a little by properly wrapping textures and a skilled level designer, but I have not thought of an elegant solution. In my experience it has been more trouble than it's worth to solve this problem, and I believe the advantages of texture splatting far outweigh the issue.

	TextureMain
		Visual Texture is the illusion of a three-dimensional surface.
		Perhaps an artist can't "make" the bark of a tree in his landscape "feel" like real bark, but the viewer will "see" the Texture and be able to associate it with the rough feel of actual bark.
		Other artist purposefully add a "felt" texture to the surface of their work.

		The heart of Texture is its special band pass filter that offers great variety and depth of tone.
		After that, you can continue to sculpt your sonic textures with three types of distortion, high rez low pass filtering, metallic effects, reverb, gate sequencing and dual delays.
		Rez is a virtual analog monosynth, with a highly resonant low pass filter, that is capable of a wide range of sounds, from funky squishes, beastly basses and screaming leads, to tight arpeggiations, atmospheres, bells, and interesting effects.

	Parametric Model for Visual Texture Representation and Synthesis
		This loose definition suggests that textures might best be synthesized by laying down texture elements at periodic or random locations within an image.
