Diffuse Map

When most people refer to the "texture map" for an model, they are actually referring to the diffuse map. The diffuse map controls the color of diffuse lighting reflecting by the object. In layman's terms, the diffuse map is simply the color of the object.

Many models, especially in older games, will have *only* a diffuse map.

Here is the diffuse map for the cube:

(These have been scaled down a bit to keep the file size reasonable; they were 2048x2048 originally.)
