Texture splatting: Art, Optimizations & Related techniques

In computer graphics, texture splatting is a method for combining different textures. It works by applying an alphamap (also called a "weightmap" or a "splat map") to the higher levels, thereby revealing the layers underneath where the alphamap is partially or completely transparent. The term was coined by Roger Crawfis and Nelson Max.
