# Map name variants

Depending on the content creator/provider, maps can have different names for the same intended function.\
Here are possible name variants for Transmutr's material maps:

* **Diffuse**: Diffuse, Albedo, Color
* **Bump**: Bump, Height\*
* **Normal**: Normal, Tangent, Dot3
* **Opacity**: Opacity, Alpha, Clipping, Transparency\*
* **Reflection**: Reflection, Reflectance, Specular
* **Reflection Glossiness**: Glossiness, Roughness (inverted), Gloss. *Coming soon, for now only supported when importing from Quixel Bridge*
* **Refraction**: Refraction, Transmittance, Transparency\*
* **Displacement**: Displacement, Elevation, Height\*
* **Translucency**: Translucency, Translucent
* **Emissive**: Emissive, Emitter, Self-Illumination
* **Emissive Intensity**: Intensity, Power, Luminance

\*Some names can be used for different maps, unfortunately. It is the choice of the content creator. You should contact them if you have a doubt.

If you have a map that doesn't fit any description, send us an email and we'll do our best to help you: <transmutr@lindale.io>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.transmutr.com/manual/materials-tab/map-name-variants.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
