- Description
- The file type ".bum" is associated with Poser, a 3D modeling and animation software. It is specifically used to store bump maps, which are textures that simulate raised or lowered surface features on a 3D object. Bump maps create the illusion of depth and detail on the surface of a model without altering its underlying geometry. These files are essential for adding realism to textures in 3D graphics by mimicking the appearance of physical characteristics like bumps, ridges, and other textures.
- A BMP file is an uncompressed raster image comprised of a rectangular grid of pixels. It contains a file header (bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, color options, and bitmap data starting point) and bitmap pixels, each with a different color.
