Camera Map Modifier (World Sp ace) 513
You apply world-space modifier like you apply
standard object-space modifier. You can access
world-space modifiers from the Modifiers
menu, the Modifier List in the Modify panel,
and applicable modifier sets (page 3–771).A
world-space modifier is indicated by either
an asterisk or the letters “WSM” next to its
name. (The asterisk or “WSM” distinguishes the
world-spaceversionfromtheobject-spaceversion
of the same modifier, if one exists.)
When you assign a world-space modifier to an
object, it appears at the top of the modifier st ack,
listed as a binding, in the same area as the space
warp bindings.
For a list of world-space modifiers, see List of
Available Modifiers (page 1–497).

Camera M ap
The Camera Map world-space modifier is similar
to the Camera Map modifier (page 1–567),inthat
it applies UVW mapping coordinates to the object

assign the same map as a Screen environment to
the background as you apply to the object, the
object is invisible in the rendered scene.
Themaindifferencebetweentheworld-space
version of Camera Map and the object-space
version is that, whe n you move the camera or the
object using the object-space version, the object
becomes visible, because the UVW coordinates are
fixed to the object’s loc al co ordinates. When you
move the camera or object using the world-space
version, the object remains invisible because world
coordinates are used instead.
