channel, adjustable using the Levels parameter.

Levels: Sets the number of levels of posterization. Values range from 2 to 255.

Relief

Uses the color values of an object or height map to calculate height vertices, creating a
3D height map.

Parameters in the Inspector

Front: Sets the position of the center point of the front of the height map, determining
the direction to which the height vertices are projected. Values are coordinates.

Front Size: Sets the size of the front object, as a proportion of its original size. Values
range from 0 to 2.

Back: Sets the position of the center point of the back of the height map, determining
the direction from which the height vertices are projected. Values are coordinates.

Back Size: Sets the size of the back object, as a proportion of its original size. Values
range from 0 to 2.

Fuzziness: Sets the amount of fuzziness applied to the height vertices. The higher the
Fuzziness, the softer the edges of the height vertices. Values range from 0 to 1.

Height Map: An image well that displays a thumbnail of the height map chosen. If
present, the height map is used to calculate the height vertices.
