Reshape > 3D Emboss [D]
Uses the luminance values from any PICT image to displace the selected patch.

1. Select the object you want to emboss.
2. Click Reshape in the main tool palette.
3. Click 3 D Emboss in the lower tool palette.
4. Set the 3 D Emboss Options parameters.

3 D Emboss Options:

Image Box - Displays the current PICT image. If none is selected, this box will display a message stating so. Click on this box to load a PICT image.
Displacement - The offset factor. This number is multiplied by the luminance of the displacement map at any given pixel to factor how far to offset each vertex. The luminance values are read as decimals ranging from 0 for pure black to 1 for pure white.
XY Mapping - Maps the x to u and y to v.
YX Mapping - Maps the y to u and x to v. Displace Normals - Displacement will follow the surface normal.
Displace XYZ - Displacement will follow the selected axis.
X - Allows displacement along the x-axis.
Y - Allows displacement along the y-axis.
Z - Allows displacement along the z-axis.
