Actual- the way the surface actually feels (sand paper, fur, trees)
Visual- the illusion of texture on a flat surface (looks soft, smooth, fluffy, rough)
Simulated- Subversive texture ( fur cup, stone figures)
Texture will be defined as the surface detail of an object. This detail can be composed of surface irregularities (such as the wood grain of an old plank) or of small forms on a surface (such as a mass of roots from an ancient tree).
These are some examples of Visual texture in my images.
