'''Texture mapping''' is a method for adding [[complexity|detail]], surface texture (a [[bitmap]] or [[raster graphics|raster image]]), or [[color]] to a [[computer-generated imagery|computer-generated graphic]] or [[3D model]]. Its application to 3D graphics was pioneered by [[Edwin Catmull]] in 1974.
 
==Texture mapping==
 
[[Image:Bumpandopacity.png|thumb|280px|left|Examples of multitexturing (click for larger image);<br/>1:&nbsp;Untextured sphere, 2:&nbsp;Texture and bump maps, 3:&nbsp;Texture map only, 4:&nbsp;Opacity and texture maps.]]
 
A '''texture map''' is applied (mapped) to the surface of a shape or polygon.<ref>Jon Radoff, Anatomy of an MMORPG, http://radoff.com/blog/2008/08/22/anatomy-of-an-mmorpg/</ref> This process is akin to applying patterned paper to a plain white box. Every vertex in a polygon is assigned a texture coordinate (which in the 2d case is also known as a UV coordinate) either via explicit assignment or by procedural definition.  Image sampling locations are then interpolated across the face of a polygon to produce a visual result that seems to have more richness than could otherwise be achieved with a limited number of polygons. '''Multitexturing''' is the use of more than one texture at a time on a polygon.<ref>Blythe, David. ''[http://www.opengl.org/resources/code/samples/sig99/advanced99/notes/notes.html Advanced Graphics Programming Techniques Using OpenGL].'' Siggraph 1999. (see: [http://www.opengl.org/resources/code/samples/sig99/advanced99/notes/node60.html Multitexture])</ref> For instance, a [[Lightmap|light map]] texture may be used to light a surface as an alternative to recalculating that lighting every time the surface is rendered. Another multitexture technique is [[bump mapping]], which allows a texture to directly control the facing direction of a surface for the purposes of its lighting calculations; it can give a very good appearance of a complex surface, such as tree bark or rough concrete, that takes on lighting detail in addition to the usual detailed coloring. Bump mapping has become popular in recent video games as graphics hardware has become powerful enough to accommodate it in real-time.
 
The way the resulting [[pixel]]s on the screen are calculated from the [[texel (graphics)|texel]]s (texture pixels) is governed by [[texture filtering]]. The fastest method is to use the [[Nearest-neighbor interpolation|nearest-neighbour interpolation]], but [[bilinear interpolation]] or [[trilinear interpolation]] between [[mipmap]]s are two commonly used alternatives which reduce [[aliasing]] or [[jaggies]]. In the event of a texture coordinate being outside the texture, it is either [[Clamping (graphics)|clamped]] or [[Wrapping (graphics)|wrapped]].
 
==Perspective correctness==
[[Image:Perspective correct texture mapping.jpg|thumb|400px|Because affine texture mapping does not take into account the depth information about a polygon's vertices, where the polygon is not perpendicular to the viewer it produces a noticeable defect.]]
 
Texture coordinates are specified at each vertex of a given triangle, and these coordinates are interpolated using an extended [[Bresenham's line algorithm]]. If these texture coordinates are [[Linear interpolation|linearly interpolated]] across the screen, the result is '''affine texture mapping'''. This is a fast calculation, but there can be a noticeable discontinuity between adjacent triangles when these triangles are at an angle to the plane of the screen (see figure at right – textures (the checker boxes) appear bent).
 
'''Perspective correct''' texturing accounts for the vertices' positions in 3D space, rather than simply interpolating a 2D triangle. This achieves the correct visual effect, but it is slower to calculate. Instead of interpolating the texture coordinates directly, the coordinates are divided by their depth (relative to the viewer), and the reciprocal of the depth value is also interpolated and used to recover the perspective-correct coordinate. This correction makes it so that in parts of the polygon that are closer to the viewer the difference from pixel to pixel between texture coordinates is smaller (stretching the texture wider), and in parts that are farther away this difference is larger (compressing the texture).
:Affine texture mapping directly interpolates a texture coordinate <math>u^{}_{\alpha}</math> between two endpoints <math>u^{}_0</math> and <math>u^{}_1</math>:
::<math>u^{}_{\alpha}= (1 - \alpha ) u_0 + \alpha u_1</math>  where  <math>0 \le \alpha \le 1</math>
:Perspective correct mapping interpolates after dividing by depth <math>z^{}_{}</math>, then uses its interpolated reciprocal to recover the correct coordinate:
::<math>u^{}_{\alpha}= \frac{ (1 - \alpha ) \frac{ u_0 }{ z_0 } + \alpha \frac{ u_1 }{ z_1 } }{ (1 - \alpha ) \frac{ 1 }{ z_0 } + \alpha \frac{ 1 }{ z_1 } }</math>
All modern 3D graphics hardware implements perspective correct texturing.
 
[[Image:Doom ingame 1.png|frame|''[[Doom (video game)|Doom]]'' renders vertical spans (walls) with affine texture mapping.]]
 
==Development==
Classic texture mappers generally did only simple mapping with at most one lighting effect, and the perspective correctness was about 16 times more expensive. To achieve two goals - faster arithmetic results, and keeping the arithmetic mill busy at all times - every triangle is further subdivided into groups of about 16 pixels. For perspective texture mapping without hardware support, a triangle is broken down into smaller triangles for rendering, which improves details in non-architectural applications.
Software renderers generally preferred screen subdivision because it has less overhead. Additionally they try to do linear interpolation along a line of pixels to simplify the set-up (compared to 2d affine interpolation) and thus again the overhead (also affine texture-mapping does not fit into the low number of registers of the [[x86]] CPU; the [[68000]] or any [[RISC]] is much more suited). For instance, ''[[Doom (video game)|Doom]]'' restricted the world to vertical walls and horizontal floors/ceilings. This meant the walls would be a constant distance along a vertical line and the floors/ceilings would be a constant distance along a horizontal line. A fast affine mapping could be used along those lines because it would be correct. A different approach was taken for ''[[Quake (video game)|Quake]]'', which would calculate perspective correct coordinates only once every 16 pixels of a scanline and linearly interpolate between them, effectively running at the speed of linear interpolation because the perspective correct calculation runs in parallel on the co-processor.<ref>Abrash, Michael. ''Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book Special Edition.'' The Coriolis Group, Scottsdale Arizona, 1997. ISBN 1-57610-174-6 ([http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1698.asp PDF]) (Chapter 70, pg. 1282)</ref> The polygons are rendered independently, hence it may be possible to switch between spans and columns or diagonal directions depending on the orientation of the polygon normal to achieve a more constant z, but the effort seems not to be worth it.

Another technique was subdividing the polygons into smaller polygons, like triangles in 3d-space or squares in screen space, and using an affine mapping on them. The distortion of affine mapping becomes much less noticeable on smaller polygons. Yet another technique was approximating the perspective with a faster calculation, such as a polynomial. Still another technique uses 1/z value of the last two drawn pixels to linearly extrapolate the next value. The division is then done starting from those values so that only a small remainder has to be divided,<ref>{{Citation
