## **Texture Placement**

---

**Type **– Controls how the texture is positioned on the geometry.

**2D (UV Channel) **– The texture uses the object UV coordinates.  
**Environment **– This mode is applicable if the map is connected to an Environment slot or a Dome light.  
**Texture Remapping** – Uses UVW values from a color texture or separate grayscale textures.  
**Mapping Source** – The texture uses an external UV placement source.
