Player engagement in console and computer games is strongly influenced by convincing visuals that approximate realism, whether photorealistic, stylised, or fantastical. Texturing plays a critical role in achieving this realism by doing more than defining colour or surface patterns; it establishes the object’s identity, history, and believability through indications of time, weather, and human interaction. Surface details are created using images known as texture maps, which define various surface properties and enhance the visual detail of computer-generated models and environments beyond basic colour attributes. As a result, texturing is a crucial and time-intensive phase of game development—often taking up to four times longer than modelling—because it significantly enhances the perception of reality within CG environments, constrained only by available hardware and software. This paper examines the texturing techniques employed in game production.
