Transforming bitmaps

Bitmap transformations provide the illusion of perspective or "texture" on a three-dimensional object. Specifically, you can distort a bitmap toward a vanishing point so the image appears to shrink as it moves toward the vanishing point. Or, you can use a two-dimensional bitmap to create a surface for a three-dimensional object, providing the illusion of texture or “wrapping” on that three-dimensional object.
