retexturize
Change the feel
To retexturize is to change or restore the texture of something—skin, hair, fabric, or a digital surface.
In skincare, retexturizing products smooth roughness or reduce scarring: This serum retexturizes dull, uneven skin.
In video games and digital art, retexturizing means applying new surface detail to 3D models: Fans retexturized the old game's graphics for modern displays.
