In Canvas Studio, a Bump Map fakes surface relief by using a single-channel height texture to perturb the fragment’s screen-space normal on the fly. This adds light-reactive ridges and dents without altering the mesh itself. Unlike a Normal Map, which stores full XYZ vectors pre-baked into RGB and yields sharper, direction-aware detail, a bump map derives its fake normals from the height differences of neighboring pixels: quicker and smaller in memory but softer in appearance.
Wrap S / Wrap T – define what happens when UVs go beyond 0-1 in the horizontal (S) or vertical (T) direction. Repeat tiles the image, Clamp stretches the edge pixels, and Mirrored tiles while flipping every other tile for a checker-seam look.
Flip Y – inverts the texture vertically; turn it on if your image appears upside-down due to differing UV origins.
Anisotropy – boosts texture sharpness at glancing angles; higher numbers keep details crisp on surfaces seen from the side.
Bump Strength – multiplier that scales how deep or shallow the bumps appear; 0 turns the effect off, higher values exaggerate the relief.
Rotation – spins the entire UV space (in radians), letting you align stripes or grain precisely.
offset X / offset Y – shift the starting point of the texture; handy for sliding patterns or matching seams.
repeat X / repeat Y – control how many times the image tiles across each axis: use integers for even tiling or fractions for stretch effects.
center X / center Y – set the pivot for rotation and scaling; (0.5, 0.5) rotates around the texture’s true center, while (0, 0) pivots around the lower-left corner.
Use a bump map when you need lightweight texture detail; stitched leather: subtle plaster, or fine noise; and reserve a normal map for sharper, directional effects like engraved lettering or machined grooves.
