texture



media type="file" key="texture.wav" There are three categories of texture: **tactile, visual, and audible.**
 * Tactile texture** is the feel of a material to human touch.
 * Visual texture** affects how an object or room looks
 * Audible texture** affects how the object or room sounds

Everything, including works of art (painting, music), has a texture or surface. Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly, the list is endless. Texture may also refer to: texture mapping (bitmat surface computer 3D models), soil texture (proportion of grain size of any material), or texture of the food (the way food feels in the mouth), and many others

The tactile experience of the texture can be feeled by the touch. **Touch or Somatic sensation** consists of the various sensory receptors that trigger the experiences labelled as pressure, temperature (warm or cold), pain (including itch and tickle), and the sensations of muscle movement and joint position including posture, movement and facial expression (collectively also called proprioception).

Tridimensional structure of the surface. Specific quality of the surface which result from the tri dimensional structure Texture describes movement, roughness, character, and qualities of the materials. Rought of stone, grain of wood, grid of fabric Types of texture: Tactile felt by touch and visual texture is seen by the eyes. All tactile textures provide visual texture as well. The visual texture can be illusory or real. Our eyes respond at the texture and feeling it without touch it, based on similar materials. Scale, view on distance and light are modifying factors on our perceptions of texture and the surfaces they articulate. All materials have some degree of texture; by defining the scale state of the pattern, more detailed it will appeared to be. Closer and distant views of objects may vary our perceptions of the texture. The relative scale of the texture can affect the apparent shape and position replying on space. Texture without directional grain can accentuate the width. Coard textures, can make the grain appear closer, reduce scale and enclose visual height. Texture affects the tactual feel of the space where they coexists. Aparent shape and position

o How is texture defined in the text? Texture is defined in the text as a specific quality of the surface which result from the tri dimensional structure. o What is it that texture describes of an object? Texture describes apparent shape, visual height, scale and position of element on the space. o How many types of texture are mentioned in this podcast? The types of texture are tactile or visual. The texture ones are real, we can touch them; and the visual ones are illusory. The podcast mentioned examples that are based on experiences that we feel with our skin and with our eyes: rought of stone, grain of wood, grid of fabric…
