Textúrázzák

Textúrázzák are a form of the Hungarian verb textúrázni, meaning to texture or to give texture to a surface. The related noun textúra refers to the surface pattern, roughness, or tactile quality added to something. The term is used in multiple fields, including manufacturing, design, and computer graphics, to describe the process of creating or applying surface detail that affects appearance and feel.

In physical contexts, textúrázás refers to methods that create texture on real materials. This can involve mechanical processes such as embossing, knurling, graining, engraving, or stamping; chemical approaches like etching or anodizing; and other surface-finishing techniques, including laser texturing. The purposes include improved grip, altered optical properties, wear resistance, and enhanced aesthetics.

In digital contexts, textúrázás is the process of applying texture to 3D models. This involves texture mapping, where bitmap images are wrapped onto surfaces, and may include different texture maps such as diffuse (color), normal or bump (depth details), roughness, and metallic maps. Steps typically include UV unwrapping, creating or sourcing textures, applying maps, and baking details into texture maps. Key concerns are resolution, seamless tiling, and how textures interact with lighting.

The term is common in technical and professional discourse relating to product design, manufacturing, game development, and visual effects. Etymologically, it is a Hungarian adoption of the English word texture, adapted into the verb form textúrázni and its conjugations, such as textúrázzák, to denote ongoing or general action performed by agents.
