3D Textures

3D textures are arrays of 2D textures stacked to represent not only the surface but also the internal structure of an object.

Info

3D textures use three coordinates to access the data, allowing the entire volume of the object to be textured rather than just the surface.

Intuition for 3D Textures

Imagine slicing through a loaf of bread. Each slice is like a 2D texture in a 3D texture stack, allowing you to visualize the interior. This technique is often used in medical imaging or volume rendering.
