Texture Mapping One of the most powerful tools in computer graphics is texture mapping .
Texture mapping applies an image to a surface.
Modeling a complex surface is often impractical because of the detail required and it would be difficult to render this fine detail accurately. Instead, texture mapping allows a simple polygon to appear to have a complex surface texture. For this lab you'll be working with some code I've created. I've also included a working finished executable in the root folder so you can see what a typical result might look like. Note that my CTexture class that you will be using can read PPM and BMP files.
