Textures in Blender
Materials in Blender are made up of picture textures. Many textures can be
assigned to a single material, changing how it looks overall, and an object can
also have multiple materials allocated to separate parts. The fundamental
benefit of employing picture textures is the capacity to make a simple item
(such as a geometric plane) appear more complicated (e.g., wood flooring).
Textured models can be used in a variety of ways. Learning how to texture
your models is a vital skill for 3D artists, whether they work in 3D animation,
3D video games, or 3D visual effects. Texturing sets your models apart if you
want to show them off.
Textures are applied to materials to give them more complex hues and
effects. An object is covered in a material that may have numerous textures,
including a stone image texture, a texture to make the stone look rough, and a
texture to make the stone flex in various ways.

There are three categories that the 3D animation process gets broken
down into:
Pre-Production
Production
Post-Production
Difference between texture material and shader
4Shader
A shader is a piece of code that is run when shading a mesh. It can be
anything, including a texture, but the term is often used to refer to a shader
that runs a BSDF or group of BSDFs, or something of that nature, such as
emission. Blender's UI follows this convention, the BSDF nodes are in a
submenu called "shaders". (but in some sense, all the nodes are shaders).
Texture
Textures add detail at the shader level. They do this by either loading an
image file, or creating a procedural pattern of some kind, such as noise,
bricks, or gradients. There are also a number of things that aren't quite
textures that fall under the vague heading of "utility shaders". These perform
some conversion function (examples in Cycles would be the Math node, or
the Blackbody node), or provide access to variables (such as the Geometry or
Texture Coordinates nodes)
Material
A material is a collection of shader(s) that you apply to a model to define how
it is shaded. A material might consist of a single BSDF, or it might contain a
vast array of textures, utilities, and multiple BSDFs. You can think of it as a
container or wrapper
Finally, remember that many people are not always consistent about using
these terms according to the definitions here. "material" and "shader"
especially are often used interchangeably.

what are textures in 3D models
A texture is a bitmap image, usually in the form of a JPG or PNG,
that produces detailed and complex characteristics. This image is
projected onto the three-dimensional space of your 3D model. So
rather than simply being a two-dimensional image, it gives the
appearance of texture on an object, much like in real life.
Is 8gb ram enough for blender
Recommended is 16GB. (Plus GPU with 4 GB RAM)
Optimal is 32GB. (Plus GPU with 12+GB RAM)
How does texture work in blender
To add a texture to a 3D model, first, add a UV map in the UV image editor to the
object making sure there is no overlapping. then import your image texture in
the UV editor and fit your UV map. Next, add a material to the object in the
shader editor, and for that material join an image texture node to your main
shader. Finally, open the imported image in the image texture node to map it to
your object.
Do sharders affect gpu or cpu
Shaders are small scripts that contain the mathematical calculations and algorithms for calculating the
colour of each pixel rendered, based on the lighting input and the Material configuration.
So short answer is graphics card.
But if you have a really bad processor compared to the graphics card then the bottleneck appears.
This means that your graphics card finishes work faster and has to wait for the processor to finish its
work which can cause fps issues in most games no matter what settings you choose in game.
What do shaders do in GPU
GPU rendering makes it possible to use your graphics card for rendering, instead
of the CPU. This can speed up rendering because modern GPUs are designed to
do quite a lot of number crunching. On the other hand, they also have some
limitations in rendering complex scenes, due to more limited memory, and issues
with interactivity when using the same graphics card for display and rendering.

Operation
Intersect
Everything inside both the target mesh and the modified mesh is
kept. If the target is a collection, then only the inside of all meshes
is kept.
Union
The target mesh or collection is added to the modified mesh,
removing any interior faces.
Difference
The target mesh, or collection of meshes, is subtracted from the
modified mesh (everything outside of the target mesh or collection
is kept).

How does Blender Cycles render work?
Cycles is Blender’s physically-based path tracer for production rendering. It is designed
to provide physically based results out-of-the-box, with artistic control and flexible
shading nodes for production needs. For GPU accelerated rendering, enable compatible
devices in Preferences ‣ System ‣ Cycles Render Devices.
What is rendering in Blender?
Rendering is when the computer calculates the light in our scene to create
the final image or animation. To calculate the lighting the render engine
needs information from our scene. This includes things like:
Geometry
Materials
Light setup
Textures
World background
