  • Pattern channel: Use this channel to insert a pattern texture for tiling the bumpiness effect on the region.
  • Range channel: Use this channel to insert a range texture to define the influence region for this layer. The following illustration shows the concept of defining the range with the Range texture.

    The Range and the UV textures.

    The part defined by the Range texture.
