mental ray for Maya Surface relief

You can create surface relief for your object in two ways:

• By mapping a bump map to your object, which creates the illusion of surface relief (elevations and depressions) on an otherwise flat object. See Bump maps.
• By mapping a displacement map to your object, which creates true surface relief (elevations and depressions) on an otherwise flat object. See Displacement maps.
