Untexturizer

An 'untexturizer' is a hypothetical substance, process, or device designed to remove or diminish texture from a surface, material, or object, rendering it smoother, flatter, or less complex in its tactile or visual qualities. This could involve a range of actions: dissolving surface irregularities, smoothing rough edges, or eliminating patterns. The term is primarily conceptual and describes the intent to reduce or eliminate texture, rather than referring to a commonly existing tangible item. It reflects a desire to create a more uniform or homogenous surface by removing existing textures or irregularities.

Untexturizer meaning with examples

• The architect proposed using a 'untexturizer' spray on the brick facade to create a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, despite protests from those valuing the natural imperfections. The goal was to reflect light evenly, removing all the rough edges and any remaining traces of the brick making procedure, making it less inviting to moss and lichen.
• During the restoration, a 'untexturizer' was applied to the ancient scroll to make it more legible by evening out the ink and the imperfections. It was a delicate process of smoothing the parchment. This innovative method helped remove the effects of time.
• The scientist experimented with a novel 'untexturizer' to make the polymer sheet flatter and more receptive to the light. It involved applying the substance and then setting a timer so that the polymer sheet would set as smooth and uniform as humanly possible.
• In industrial design, engineers explored a sonic 'untexturizer' to smooth out the uneven surfaces of the metal castings. They hoped to increase the longevity by smoothing out rough edges of the product.
• The artist used a digital 'untexturizer' filter on her photographs to make the portraits seem more ethereal by softening the texture. She wanted her models to appear closer to ethereal beings of pure reflection and light, as opposed to flesh and blood.
