Textures
Texture mapping adds color, texture, opacity, and reflectivity to the surfaces of 3D models. Learn how to create realistic surfaces and shaders for 3D models with computer-generated bump mapping and reflection maps, your own maps from 2D images and 3D procedural textures with Maya, 3ds Max, and Mudbox, and more.

-
Introduces particles (used to simulate effects like snow, sparks, fog, or fire) and dynamics (which allow you to define how objects interact with their environment).
-
Shows how to lend 3D objects color, transparency, and life with materials, textures, and lights.
-
Introduces the CINEMA environment and illustrates the importance of the object hierarchy.
