# How to deboss an image

## Objective:

Debossing an image

## Applies to:

* Import Bitmap
* Map Bitmap to Plane

## Procedure:

1. Get started with importing your image (png) file using the **Import Bitmap** block [**(this block is a beta block)**](/help-articles/knowledge-base/user-interface/what-are-beta-blocks)

* Add a **Map Bitmap to Plane** block
  * Insert the **Import Bitmap** block in the Bitmap field
  * Create a **Plane**
  * Choose your Interpolation type, Length, and Width

![The Map Bitmap to Plane block is used to import an image and position it on a plane.](https://files.learn.ntop.com/help-articles/textures/4404036094099.png)

2. Drag a **Scalar Field** (Alpha, Blue, Grayscale, Green, Hue, and Red) chip from the Planar Image\_1's properties panel into the Notebook. The chosen field is what will be debossed in further steps.

3. Create the geometry for the image to be debossed into

* Add **Box** of Length 10mm, Width 10mm, and Height 2mm

4. Deboss the image

* Add **Offset Body**
* Insert **Ramp**in the Distance field
  * Scalar field: Grayscale Values
  * In min: 0
  * In max: 1
  * Out min: 0mm
  * Out max: 0.2mm
  * Continuity: Geometric (CO)

5. Boolean operation to remove the excess material and combine it with our initial geometry

![Use a Boolean Intersect block to remove the unwanted material and a Boolean Union block to merge the result with the original geometry.](https://files.learn.ntop.com/help-articles/textures/4404036558867.png)

And that's it! You've successfully debossed your image
