 *'''Translucent:''' When checked, translucency is enabled and the slider to the right controls the amount of translucency.  Translucency gives an effect of light filtering through a surface. As an example, you might use translucency on a leaf texture to simulate light passing through it. It's not the same thing as opacity/transparency. Translucency is explained in more detail here.
 *'''Translucency tint:'''  This colour tints the translucency effect and is explained in further detail  here.

 '''Node Description and Purpose:'''<br />
 The Image Map Shader allows you to load an external image map file in one of many supported formats. You can find a complete list of the image formats supported [[Supported_Image_Formats|here]]. You can control the way the texture is applied in the scene - the "projection" - the position, as well as whether to flip or repeat the loaded image, adjust the colour values, determine whether displacement is applied, and control other image-specific effects.
