1. Kinds of textures

    1. Diffuse Map

      1. RGB to provide local color

    2. Normal Map

      1. RGB converts to XYZ coordinates when rendering

    3. Bump Map (Height Map)

      1. Grey values determine height of surface detail
      2. Geometry is not changed

    4. Displacement Map

      1. Grey values
      2. Affects geometry

    5. Specular Map (Grey value)

    6. Pretty much any channel in your shader can be driven by a map

      1. Alpha
      2. glossiness
      3. reflectivity
      4. hair/baldness
