Game texturing is the process of creating and applying 2D image maps (color, normal, roughness, metallic, etc.) onto 3D models to give them surface detail, material properties, and realism within a game engine. Texture artists use software like Substance Painter, Substance Designer, and Photoshop, working within polygon and memory budgets suited for real-time rendering. It's a specialized role within game art production, often paired closely with 3D modeling.
