Creating computer or video games, a simple explanation.

 

Skin

 

 

Now that our 3d model has been flattened we can draw the skin and clothes on him or her or it. We say skin and clothes because if your model always wears the same clothes then there is no need to draw the skin that no one will ever see. The skin and clothes gives us our color and texture. In 3d modeling terminology we say skinning a model or adding texture. These tools have a function called layering where we can draw the skin of the person add a layer and then draw the clothes if we want a more realistic appearance.
