Artists tend to use UVs to perform texture mapping even if it is not needed; because this saves them the trouble of doing math. In this tutorial, I am going to teach you how texture mapping works aside from UV mapping.

Understanding texture mapping won’t only benefit you in texture mapping, it will also benefit you in procedural texturing and image processing. So I shall give you a good idea of how texture mapping works and then tell you about some techniques to use when doing texture mapping.
