I'v Just Been Wondering; what exactly is bump mapping?, is it true 3-d? or made to LOOK like it's 3-d or what?.

Bump mapping is the technique of using a texture map (dubbed the "bump map") to simulate raises and indentations on the surface of a 3d model by changing the way light casts on the surface. In other words, it creates darker and lighter spots on the model dynamically so the player sees form that doesn't actually exist.
