Texture

=TEXTURE = Definition Texture is the three dimensional structure of a surface. In other words, it is the specific quality of a surface which results from its three dimensional structure.



There are two basic types of texture which are: What is it that texture describes of an object? It describes the relative smoothness or roughness of a surface and also its characteristics surface qualities of familiar materials. How can texture influence the characteristics of a space? Scale, view, distance and light are important modifying factors in our perception of textures in the surfaces they articulate. The relative scale of a texture can affect the apparent shape and position of a plane in space; it can accentuate a plane's lenght or width, it could make it appear closer or reduce its scale and increase its visual weight. In general, textures tend to visually fill the space in which they exist.
 * Tactile texture: they are real and tangible (they can be felt by touch).
 * Visual texture: they are seen by the eye and might be an illusion or real.
