retexturing
Altering material feel
Retexturing is the process of applying new surface textures to something, most commonly in digital contexts like video games and 3D modeling where artists replace or modify the visual appearance of objects: The modding community released a retexturing pack for the original game.
In physical contexts, retexturing can refer to refinishing surfaces like walls or skin treatments that restore texture.
