- 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 PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop, a professional image-editing program often used to enhance digital photos and create web graphics. It is the native format used to save files in Photoshop. PSD files may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotations, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. They are commonly created and shared among graphics professionals.
