Chapter 5. Applying 3D Textures and Projections
The 3D Placement utilities generated by 3D and environment textures possess unique application traits. Projection utilities, on the other hand, are designed to work with 2D textures. Three-dimensional textures procedurally create a wide range of solid patterns; that is, they have height, width, and depth. In addition, you can convert 3D textures into 2D bitmaps with the Convert To File Texture tool.
