Hi,
I'm guessing we should not be afraid to use the Texture feature which
was introduced:
f = 1 - Cos[10*Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]]/Exp[10*(x^2 + y^2)];
With[{tex = Texture[DensityPlot[f, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
PlotRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}, {0, 2}}, Frame -> False,
ColorFunction -> "TemperatureMap"]]},
Plot3D[{f, -1}, {x, -1, 1},
{y, -1, 1}, PlotStyle -> {{Opacity[0.4]}, {tex}}]]
Cheers
Patrick
