Surface Image Mapping¶

Color data values from images are applied to control the surface color and geometry in the following examples.

Mapping a 2D image onto a spherical surface.

Spherical Image Mapping

Mapping a 2D image onto a disk and cylinder.

../_images/mars_cyl.png

Polar and Cylindrical Image Mapping

Image mapped to a section of a spherical surface.

../_images/stinkbug.png

Mapping to a Viewport

Image mapped to a section of a spherical surface which is then geometrically mapped.

Function and Image Mapping

Two examples of geometric mapping using either Hue or Value obtained from an image.

Image Geometric Mapping

Image Color mapping and Geometry mapping are combined with additional shading.

Geometric and Color Image Mapping

Use of color value for surface clipping.

../_images/earth_land_clipped.png

Image Value Clipping

Two images are used, one for colormapping and the other for geometric mapping.
