= Category Texturing =
 
This category covers texturing for games: texture map types, texturing techniques, file formats, etc.
 
  
 
 
== Category Texture Types ==
 
[[Category:TextureTypes]] lists the texture map types for games. The most common types are [[DiffuseMap|Diffuse]], [[EmissiveMap|Emissive]], [[NormalMap|Normal]], [[TransparencyMap|Opacity]], and [[SpecularColorMap|Specular Color]]. The types you use will be dictated by the asset itself, and the Art Direction for the project.

== Texture File Formats ==
 
Texture file formats come in two basic categories: those that are used at runtime (in-game), versus those that are used by artists in general but have to be converted to be used "live" in-game. The main reasons for converting are to reduce memory and to store [[MipMap|mips]].
 
 
[[Category:TextureFormat]] is for general-use file formats:
 
 
* (BMP, EXR, GIF, HDR, JPEG, PNG, PSD, TGA, TIFF, etc.)
 
 
[[Category:TextureFormatRuntime]] is for file formats used in-game:
 
 
* (3Dc, DDS, DXT, PVR, TPL, etc.)
