Textures are extremely versatile. We can encode practically any color data we want inside a texture and use it in any number of ways, and in this chapter, we will learn about some methods of using textures for interesting and varied effects. These methods include modifying the UVs to map textures in different ways and sampling a texture multiple times with different sets of UVs and then compositing the results. Later, we will see different kinds of texture than the standard Texture2D, such as Texture3D and Cubemap. Before ...
