Re: need help on material bump

Select the material you want to add a bump to, in the MAPS heading tick the 'Bump' box, then click on the 'M' next to it to open up the texture editor. Select "TexBitmp" from the dropdown menu on the left, then use the scrollbar on the right hand of the screen to scroll down to the very bottom right and click the 3 dots, then browse to your bump map file. Then press ok, then it will close the texture editor - you can then click preview in the material editor and it will show your new applied bump.

thanks edonk, but thats exactly what i did, maybe there is something wrong with the demo product that i installed. same with displacement, i coudn't make it work.

The geometry with the displacement should be grouped alone.

Re: need help on material bump

i alredy figure it out. The material that i was bumping has .75 hilight glossiness and .75 reflection glossines, when i put them back to 1, the bump on my material shows. but everytime i decrease the reflection glossiness even only to .95 the bump doest show. Any idea? is this Bug or something?
