The Third dimension

"the third dimension allows texture maps to wrap in complex ways onto irregular surfaces."

..is a load of crap, u and v allow for that. I have never seen anyone able to actually say what the w dimension actually does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.85.58 (talk) 16:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's not 'a load of crap', it's exactly what it does. R3->R3 mapping with UVW is extremely useful e.g. for landscape height maps and other environmental visualisations. Vaxquis (talk) 14:09, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
