In this thesis a new image-based texturing method has been developed. This new method allows users to synthesize tiled textures that can be mapped to any quadrilateral mesh without discontinuity or singularity. An interface has been developed that allows user control over out put textures. Three methods have been included in the interface to create a periodic looking texture for 3D models and two methods have been developed to create wallpaper images (repeating textures on a 2D surface). Using these texturing methods, texturing problems are simplified, and more time can be spent solving artistic problems.

A new approach for object replacement in 3D space is presented. Introducing a technique that replaces the older two dimensional (2D) based facial replacement method performed by compositing artist in motion picture productions and video commercial industry. This method uses 4 digital video cameras filming an actor from 360 degrees, the cameras are placed with 90 degrees in between, the video footage acquired is then used to produce a 3D video texture consisting of video segments taken from different angles representing the object from 3D point of view. The video texture is then applied to a 3D modelled head matching the geometry of the original object. Offering the freedom of showing the object from any point of view from 3D space, which is not possible using the current two dimensional method where the actormust at all time face the camera. The method is described in details with images showing every stage of the process. Results are presented as still frames taken from the final video footage and as a video file demonstrating them.
