3D Texturing
Creating the surface detail of 3D models: color, roughness, bumps and wear, so materials look real up close.

Part of 3D Rendering. How the work runs and what it costs across the family are set out in the 3D visualization & rendering guide.
What 3D Texturing covers
3 services under this heading. Each is priced for the work it actually involves rather than averaged into one rate.
Texture Mapping
Applying texture maps to models so wood grain, fabric weave and printed graphics sit correctly on every surface.
Priced per project
UV Mapping
Unwrapping 3D models into flat UV layouts without stretching or visible seams, the groundwork for good texturing.
Priced per project
Texture Optimization
Resizing, compressing and packing textures so models load quickly in real-time engines and on the web.
Priced per project
Rates and common questions for this work are on the 3D Visualization & Rendering page.
How we approach this work

How to Get PBR Materials and Texturing Right
A phase-by-phase playbook for PBR materials: color spaces, texel density, metalness, roughness, normal maps, glTF export and multi-light validation.
3D Design & DevelopmentUV Mapping, Done Properly
Flattening a three-dimensional surface into two dimensions so textures can be applied to it predictably.
3D Design & DevelopmentLighting and Rendering, Done Properly
Compare HDRI-led, designed-rig and hybrid lighting, set sample counts and denoising by measurement, and render to EXR passes so every note is fixable fast.
3D Texturing vs the alternatives
