Place the envelope bitmap over the wood background. Select the bitmap with the Shadow Tool (Ctrl F12)and apply a Wall Shadow.
New Xtreme Feature: 3D BumpMap is part of the Live Effects Tool and creates what many bitmap editing applications (such as Photoshop) call Embossed. But beyond the embossed effect, you can also create dramatic lighting effects which is what we will do here. And in this case, without the 3D embossed portion of the effect). I plan to cover the 3D BumpMap in more detail in the November 2005 Workbook. Create a new rectangle to the same size as the background rectangle. Apply a dark brown fill (I'm not sure if the background color is important but this is how I did it). Because the solid colored rectangle has no images, no 3D effect/texture will be created). Select the new rectangle with the Live Effects Tool (Ctrl F5) and from the New drop down list, select 3D BumpMap. Check the Spotlight radio button. Click in the Position: window and drag to the right as indicated with the red arrow. This moves the light position as you will see when you do this. Click the Color swatch and select yellow from the pop up color palette. Adjust the other settings as shown above. Click the blue square with the X in the top right hand corner to close the dialog.
Select the rectangle with the Transparency Tool (F6) and apply a Flat, Stained Glass transparency. Change the Transparency slider setting to 50%. You can also check the Merge check box to get a brighter effect. Try it and see what happens (you can't break it). NOTE: The reason why the 3D BumpMap is included in the Live Effects Tool is the effect can be altered if need be. You can change the effect by selecting the rectangle with the Live Effects Tool and clicking Edit.
