C Correct answer
Explanation

3D modeling programs are not typically used to create textures for digital art. The other options are all common methods for creating textures.

Multiple choice

What is the best way to apply a texture to an object in digital art?

  1. Use the texture as a fill layer.

  2. Use the texture as a clipping mask.

  3. Use the texture as a layer mask.

  4. Use the texture as a displacement map.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Using the texture as a clipping mask is the best way to apply a texture to an object in digital art because it allows you to control the exact area where the texture is applied.

Multiple choice

What is the best way to create a seamless texture in digital art?

  1. Use a tileable texture.

  2. Use a mirror wrap.

  3. Use a gradient map.

  4. Use a blend mode.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Using a tileable texture is the best way to create a seamless texture in digital art because it allows the texture to be repeated without visible seams.
