Texture Wrapping

© JuliannaKunstler.com

Choose any 6 textures

Apply them onto the cylinders to achieve a “wrapping” effect.

Research for photo references to use for this assignment.

  • palm tree
  • log
  • cactus
  • rope
  • hair
  • brick
  • cheese
  • roof tiles
  • glass
  • sponge

How it works:

cylinder

Before applying a texture to an object – consider:

  • light source (position and strength)
  • type of a surface (flat or curved)

patternpattern

If you take a "flat" texture/pattern and bend it – you will see how the elements get distorted as the surface curves away.

It also affects the texture value and contrast.

pattern on cylinder3d pattern

If you add a 3D quality to your texture – you need to consider where the light source is and how bright it is.

Same strategy applies to any pattern or texture.
