Help with bump mapping

[nebille]

Hello all

I am having problems with my bump mapping. I am using the QMC for primary and secondary bounces. All materials are vraymaterial. All bump maps are jpgs. I am rendering at low res . I find that even with the bump map boosted to 175 i still get very small bump mapping. Has anyone any ideas why this is.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Nebille

for bumpy things I usually make shure there is a texture map with some detail in it. hope that helps

hmmm

im using the skylight feature and vray area lights. I will post an image soon. I shouldnt have to have such a high bump map setting should i?

i am used to using around 30 and under. Keeps things toned down but noticable. I geuss its preference.. i may archive the scene and post that as well.

This is the image. As you can see the bump mapping is relatively small compared to 100 in the bump parameters. Also how do i get rid of the noise in the image
