# Basic Tutorial | Images and texturing

In the software, you can map a picture on the corresponding 3D model. Depending on the data you have, there are two possibilities:

- Use couples of points (points on the 3D mesh and points on the picture).
- Use camera parameters (position, orientation, focal length, pixel size…).

> [!WARNING]
> If you do not know all the camera parameters (for example, you know the position but not the orientation), you can click reference points and enter the information you have; they will constrain the mapping.
