UVW is one way to wrap a 2D surface (bitmap) onto a 3D surface (polygons/nurbs/patches/etc.)

UVW = three directions in texture space, and they are similar to XYZ. U = width, V = height, W = depth.

W is really only for 3D textures, which are rarely used. Concentrate on just U and V, get a good handle on them and later on W will become more obvious.

Does that help?
