Unsure of the correct terminology
What is the correct terminology for plotting a 2d object (let's say a circle for this purpose), onto the surface of a 3d object - and taking the shape of said surface? I don't know if I'm making any sense here - so for the purpose of clarification; let's say I have a rug and I set it down on a rugged surface. Said rug will inherently take the shape of the underlying surface. Imagine this in a 3d setting - I have a 2d geometry that I'm projecting onto a 3d surface. What is this process referred to as?
