Create depth, or the illusion of depth, with Layer Maps. Layer Maps are an incredible feature once we understand how they work. This basic introduction to the concept will look at 3 applications of maps to create depth. The specific systems may be slightly different, but the core concept is the same: 2d image data will tell pixels, particles, and vertices, where to move and by how much. Layer Maps are a powerful and fundamental tool, so I hope this helps get you started using them!
