Normal map map

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

cant get it working really guys (((( its not doing anything the bump is not aparent....do u use it with UVW-world cooredinate? or plain UVW?

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

using max9 64bit bump works, but when i use the vray2normalbump all of the sudden the bump is gone...i ve switched to SP already

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

one more thing, ive used it in multisub material...just testing if its doing in regular material as well

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

max is behaving really weird in this scene..ive got the scene in meters, shadow bias set to 0.002, and when i set bump map filtering to 0.01, i hardly see it...i have to raise it to 0.05 to see something but its nowhere near where i d liked it to be...

...this of course dowsnt change anything on the posts ive written above, simply vlados bump2normal map is not functioning...and neither is the max normal bump

...am starting to feel there is something wrong with the bump map but i really cant tell what it is...

if i post the maps, would anyone be intereseted to try it out?
its actually quite nice large brick tile maps ))

here r the maps on rapidshare, feel free to use them otherwise....they r hires and made by me, so no worries about rights

little update:
one of the textures is causing the "Material returned invalid color"...perhaps that could be the problem

Any chance of a Max 2010 compile of this plugin Vlado?

I tried the plugin [max 2008 32bit] but found it rather unstable ...crash...crash


HEY VLADO ..would it be difficult or even possible to implement the relief mapping technique directly within vray??? It seems to be a really good technique for getting that bit more out of textures without resorting to displacement. Would love to know your thoughts as I feel this could be a very powerful tool.

We'd really appreciate a 2010 version of this plugin also Vlado

I will give it a try, in the meantime the sources are included with the installation of the V-Ray SDK for SP4.

Vlado, 3ds Max 2009 is forgotten.

Please build 3dsMax2009 version bump2normal.

I was wondering if someone has more complexe render using displacement mapping.
I mean other than 4 walls with brick texture.
