With the continuous development of scientific algorithms for computer graphics, the new generation of procedural texture technology greatly accelerates the CG visual art creation and gradually replaces the bitmap texture workflow. The technology has not only realized the further integration of computer graphics technology and art creation, but also put forward new requirements for texture artist's knowledge structure. Meanwhile, the new workflow reduces the requirements for traditional painting skills and focuses more on logical thinking and basic programming skills. In the future, texture artists have to pay attention not only to the aesthetic and accomplishment of art, but also to the logical application of scientific algorithms.
