Bump mapping makes objects look faceted

[Vizioen]

The issue from the original first post is long solved. I haven't looked at the rest of the posts, as I got totally confused due to multiple people talking about different issues.

OK. I'll try and get you an example. Maybe update my V-ray to the latest too because I'm 1 tiny version behind.

I can´t use normalmaps with displacement in subdivision mode.

This is fixed for the next nightly build tomorrow and for the next SP. It can also be avoided by turning on the "Smooth UVs" option. In the future, please post separate threads about the issues that you are having. Appending to another user's thread just causes confusion.

Best regards,

Sorry for digging out this old thread but I'm still getting sharp shadows on subdivided objects when I use bump maps. Any way to avoid this? It looks a bit ugly and I really can't not use bump otherwise the grass looks too "flat". Please check the images below:

Same. What if you use a normal map, does it happen then too?

Yes, happens with normal maps too.

I don't know if this is the same problem I've had in the past or not -- but try putting a Turn to Poly modifier on the object and see if it still creates the sharp shadows....

Thanks but it didn't help.
