Description: Overlay texture is a technique used in computer graphics development, especially in various game engines. It involves applying one texture over another to add details, visual effects, or variations on the surface of an object. This technique allows artists and designers to create more complex and realistic materials without significantly increasing the polygon load on a 3D model. By combining different textures, effects such as wear, dirt, or color variations can be simulated, enriching the visual appearance of environments and characters in a game. Overlay texture relies on the use of opacity maps and other parameters that determine how textures blend, allowing for precise control over the final result. This technique is fundamental in creating materials within different graphics environments, where various tools can be used to manage how textures are combined and applied to 3D models, achieving a high degree of customization and realism in graphics.
