| − | = Category Texturing =
| |
| − | This is a list of textures used in games, the texture maps that are used as visual layers in game shaders, the texturing techniques that are used to create these maps, and the file formats that are used to store them.

| − | == Popular Texture Types ==
| |
| − | For game assets the most commonly used texture types are Diffuse, Emissive, Normal, Opacity, and Specular Color. However the types you use will be dictated by the asset itself, and the Art Direction for the project.

| − | == Texture 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. Two of the main reasons for conversion are to reduce memory load and to store [[MipMap|mips]].
