# Extract Texture

![CmdExtractTexture.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/CmdExtractTexture.svg)

This command extracts dynamic textures applied on a mesh into scene images. Extracted images are added in the 3D scene as regularly imported images would be.

> [!TIP]
> ### Requirements
> 
> Select one or several textured meshes and launch the command.

---

> [!WARNING]
> ### Notes
> 
> Static textures, such as textures applied using [Smart Texture](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-smarttexturec) or [Texture Atlas](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-texture-atlasc) cannot be extracted from a textured mesh.

> [!NOTE]
> ### Technical information
> 
> **Dynamic vs static**
> 
> The mesh texture comes from an image. It can be done in a static or a dynamic way:
> 
> - in a static way, the image is overlaid on the mesh one time. Then the original image is removed from memory.
> - in a dynamic way, the image is kept into memory so as to be overlaid at any time.
