What do you need to know about 3D texturing?
3D Texturing is basically wrapping a 2D image around a 3D object and defining how light would affect it. Various software packages have different tools and techniques for adding texture to a 3D model. The texturing stage of the 3D animation pipeline includes unwrapping, texture painting & shading, and rendering.

How to export textures and materials to other applications?
There are two methods you can use to export materials to other applications: Substance Archives (SBSAR) are powerful and customizable. Bitmap files can be used in applications that don’t support Substance Archives. The SBSAR format allows you to customize parameters but also adjust the resolution of the images the SBSAR produces.
What’s the difference between texture and shading in 3D?
The texture is usually a 2D image and shading is a group of functions that determines the way light affects the 2D image. The process of defining color information, surface details, and visual properties of a 3D model is called “texture mapping”.
