194 Applying Special Effects
2D Bump Map
The 2D Bump Map effect creates the impression of a textured surface by
applying a grayscale bitmap you select to add depth information, for a peak-andvalley
effect. You can use 2D Bump Map in conjunction with one or more
additional 3D filter effects—but not with a 3D Bump Map.
3D Pattern Map
The 3D Pattern Map effect creates the impression of a textured surface by
applying a mathematical function you select to introduce color variations. You
can use 3D Pattern Map in conjunction with one or more other 3D filter effects.

Transparency
The uniform transparency of an object (with 3D filter effects applied) can be
controlled via the Color tab (see first heart example). However, for more
sophisticated transparency control, especially for simulating reflective lighting
effects on glass objects, transparency settings can instead be set within the 3D
filter effects dialog (check the Transparency option). Transparency can be
adjusted independently for both non-reflective surfaces (typically an object's
edge shadows shown when side-lit) and top-lit surfaces (see second example).
