3D texturing is the process of applying color, surface detail, and material properties (like roughness, metallicness, and bump maps) to a 3D model's geometry using software such as Substance Painter, Mari, or Photoshop. Game artists and VFX texture artists rely on it to make models look realistic or stylized, defining how light interacts with surfaces like skin, metal, or fabric.
