Editing Texture mapping (section)

== Semantic ==
Texture mapping can both refer to the task of unwrapping a 3D model, the abstract that a 3D model has textures applied to it and the related algorithm of the [[3D software]].

Texture map refers to a [[Raster graphics]] also called image, texture. If the texture stores a specific property it's also referred to as color map, roughness map, etc. 

The coordinate space which converts from the 3D space of a 3D model into a 2D space so that it can sample from the Texture map is called: UV Space, UV Coordinates, Texture Space.
