Procedural Texture
Procedural Texture is a way to create surface details in 3D modeling by using math rules instead of using pictures. These textures can make things like wood, stone, or fabric look real without needing to store large image files. Designers can change the look by adjusting numbers, so every object can have a unique pattern. This method helps models look detailed up close and far away, and it uses less memory because the computer builds the texture when needed. Procedural textures can be animated or changed in real time, which is helpful for interactive design and games.
