Why it matters: Efficient UV mapping and normal map baking allow high-detail textures to be applied to low-poly models, preserving visual fidelity without unnecessary computational overhead. Adding Realism & Depth A 3D model without textures is lifeless.

They can be rigged and animated, placed as a stationary object in a scene, combined with other assets to create a set/environment, simmed or destroyed, and used for shadows or holdouts. Texture baking Texture baking allows you to generate 2D texture maps from a 3D model's high polygon count and is a technique used particularly in video games.
