While lights and materials add a great deal of realism to a scene, nothing adds more realism than adding textures to surfaces. Textures can be thought of as wallpaper that is shrink-wrapped onto a surface. You could place a wood texture on a cube to make the cube look like it is actually made of wood. The Texture sample project adds a banana peel texture to the cylinder created in tutorial 4. This tutorial covers how to load textures, set up vertices, and display objects with texture.
