Texture2D
Image texture for 3D materials
Turns a 2D image into texture data that can be used by Fusion 3D materials and mapped onto geometry.
Texture2D
DaVinci Resolve · Fusion
Turns a 2D image into texture data that can be used by Fusion 3D materials and mapped onto geometry.
Overview
What Texture2D does
Turns a 2D image into texture data that can be used by Fusion 3D materials and mapped onto geometry.
Mental model
A normal Fusion image becomes a paint layer that the material system can wrap onto 3D geometry using UV coordinates.
Common uses
Apply logos or photos to geometry
Use procedural noise as texture
Create animated video textures
Feed utility maps into materials
Flow anatomy
Inputs & outputs
The port structure shows how this node fits into a Fusion graph.
Image / Texture
Source data used to create or modify the material, texture or mapping result.
Texture2D
Fusion node
Texture2D Output
Processed texture, mapping or material data for the next 3D shading stage.
Inspector
Important parameters
Start with these controls before reaching for more complicated workarounds.
V Translation
Offsets the texture along the vertical V coordinate.
U Scale
Scales the Texture2D mapping along the U direction.
V Scale
Scales the Texture2D mapping along the V direction.
Wrap Mode
Selects the Wrap Mode used by Texture2D.
Texture Depth
Sets the depth assigned to the Texture2D surface.
OpenGL LowQ / OpenGL HiQ
Sets the processing quality for this operation.
Use a lighter setting while building the comp if needed, then verify the final-quality result before render.
Software LowQ / Software HiQ
Sets the processing quality for this operation.
Use a lighter setting while building the comp if needed, then verify the final-quality result before render.
Material ID
Assigns the Material ID written to the render passes.
Material IDs can be used later to isolate surfaces in compositing.
Practical setup
A reliable workflow
- 1
Prepare the source image, texture, material or mesh that Texture2D will use.
- 2
Insert Texture2D at the stage where mapping or shading should change.
- 3
Use a simple test material or checker pattern while tuning Texture2D.
- 4
Verify scale, orientation and color/alpha interpretation before judging Texture2D.
- 5
Render Texture2D under a neutral test light before adding final look development.

Material workflow
Texture2D prepares or modifies a material-related branch before rendering.

Reusable texture setup
Texture2D stays isolated so the same mapping or texture can be reused.

Troubleshooting
Common mistakes
Changing several Texture2D parameters at once and losing track of which control caused the result.
Approving Texture2D from a single still frame without checking motion or representative lighting.
Adding extra controls around Texture2D before the basic source, transform and render path is known to work.
Production notes
Practical tips
Name Texture2D by purpose when a composition contains several instances.
Use a lightweight preview while tuning Texture2D; restore the intended quality settings before the final render.
