Once downloaded, an artist won't just "paint" this on. They use a process called . They take a "sculpt" (a grey digital clay model). They project these multichannel maps onto the sculpt.

The computer reads the RGB data to physically displace the digital geometry.

This captures the deep structural changes, like the major folds in the forehead or the shape of the nose.
