A lot happens! All the way from a texture, to sampling that texture based on UV coordinates of a model, all the way to applying relevant shader models. Physically based, stylized, mixture of both, a lot of creativity can happen here! https://www.pokitec.com/research/DynamicTextureAtlasAllocation.html https://www.michaelraquel.com/blog/noise-fundamentals-for-3d-artists monthly 0.5 2022-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c605cc47ab4065a2e46433/af1161ac-756f-4b64-bb6d-c3e9c310dcb7/Animation+%281%29.gif Blog - Noise Fundamentals for 3D Artists - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c605cc47ab4065a2e46433/fd9c777e-b16d-49d8-ac5a-68a48aabbb77/grass_microscope.jpg Blog - Noise Fundamentals for 3D Artists - Make it stand out Grass under a microscope.
