Bump texture and displacement questions

[lila_cg]

Sorry to bother again, but I'm stuck on a stupid problem.
How come I can only set bump throught a bitmap? each time I try to use anything else (a grid, a checker, a noise etc...) it has no effect on the rendering.
Is that a limit of my testing version or am I setting something wrong?
Another question is about displacement: I've seen really cool .mat for v-ray for max made with no texture but just a displacement setting, like grass or fur: is this something different from bump, and is it possible to have the same thing on VRfR?

Currently only the bitmap texture supports bump-mapping. Also displacement is not available to us at this time either. We are working toward resolving both those issues - but the displacement side is out of our hands entirely unfortunately.

beside this we can do both using other ways.
what do you want to achieve on your project ?
we surely can help.

Thanks for your kind answers!
I'm working to make ceramic tiles.
This is what I did (with a bump bitmap).


As you can imagine those are the esiest to be done!

I would like to make something like this, but I cannot imagine how to do it without displacement..

It seems like this topic has been covered elsewhere today (JP?), but you might be able to modify Micha's Grass concept with a different image to create a carpet like that.

Might be a place to start.

I knew that she didn't have access to it, but I wanted to wait to see what she needed first before copy pasting info...

Maybe I should simply wait for Micha to update Material tutorial (it's him, isn't it?)
