3D Textures

2D Texture 3D Texture

A 2D texture is like a photograph pasted on the surface of an object.

A 3D texture can make an object look as if it were carved out of a solid block of material.

A 3D texture can be thought of as a stack of 2D images, filling a 3D cube.

3D texturing adds an R texture coordinate to the existing S & T coordinates.

Example: tex3d.cpp
