This lecture covers the use of alpha maps to discard transparent texture pixels in the fragment shader, bump maps to add surface detail without increasing geometric complexity, and the creation of realistic textures using images from NASA's Blue Marble project. The instructor also acknowledges the contribution of Hartmut Schirmacher for providing aligned textures and initial WebGL code.
