UV Map at a glance

UV Map

UV mapping became foundational once 3D graphics pipelines standardized on the idea of flattening mesh surfaces into 2D texture space for painting, baking, and material assignment.

ICB at a glance

ICB

The Truevision line grew out of EPICenter-era PC graphics boards, and several board names ended up surviving as filename extensions even when the underlying raster structure stayed close to the wider TGA family.
