In 3D graphics, the digital representation of the surface of an object. In addition to two-dimensional qualities, such as color and brightness, a texture is also encoded with three-dimensional properties, such as how transparent and reflective the object is. Once a texture has been defined, it can be wrapped around any 3-dimensional object. This is called texture mapping. Well-defined textures are very important for rendering realistic 3-D images. However, they also require a lot of memory, so they're not used as often as they might be. This is one of the rationales for the development of the new graphics interface, AGP, which allows texture to be stored in main memory, which is more expansive than video memory. AGP also speeds up the transfer of large textures between memory, the CPU and the video adapter.
Bidimensional image which is mapped on the 3D objects to give them a realistic aspect. You can define the texture as the "tapestry" on the objects. The textures are subject to many functions and processing from the graphical chipset to increase the quality and the realism.

Texture in a painting is the feel of the canvas based on the paint used and its method of application. There are two forms of texture in painting, visual and tactile. Because texture uses two different senses it is a unique element of art.
