- 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.
- Image stored in the JPEG XR format, which was originally developed by Microsoft for Windows Media software; supports deep color images with 48-bit RGB; used for high-resolution professional image editing; also supports lossless and lossy compression.
