procedural textures

Procedural textures are computer-generated images created using algorithms and mathematical functions, rather than by applying pre-made images or photos. They generate patterns and surfaces dynamically, allowing for endless variation and detail without storing large image files. This method is efficient for creating realistic or abstract textures like wood grain, marble, or stone, as they can adapt seamlessly to different shapes and scales. Procedural textures are widely used in digital design, gaming, and visual effects because they offer flexibility, consistency, and the ability to produce complex, natural-looking surfaces automatically.
