Please note I am having material library and material problems. I have rebooted machine and recreated materials several times. This is based on the “New” Revit material. The tile should have a bump and should be slightly lighter, though I can live with the color shading. This is a screen capture of Revit and Enscape. Shower walls and bathroom floors should be the same material with bump. What did I miss?

I can force the look by overlaying a pattern on the color map, but it is a flat surface, no bump map.

We have noticed the same thing with the new revit PBR materials.

Bump is definitely a lot weaker now and usually just disappears unless you get super close to the object. I couldn’t help but wonder if the denoising is too aggressive, would be nice to have a denoise slider to be exposed to the users.

Thanks a lot for the feedback everyone, we’re aware of this issue and we’re also currently busy resolving it. The corresponding fix should find its way into Enscape soon! 🙂

@Demian_Gutberlet was this fixed in the newest preview release?

Hey @Pieter_2 , not in the latest preview, but it should very well be in the next upcoming, so thanks a lot for a bit more patience! 🙂

No prob. Just checking whether we should run some bump tests on the latest preview or not. We will wait for the next one!

The last reply indicated this has been fixed but i’m still experiencing this problem. I’ve tried both bump and normal maps and while they appear in the material editor they do not affect the texture even when at their maximum setting.

Enscape Version 2.4.2.10-g5495b9a

Build Number - 2.4.19039.729

* * *

EDIT

Enscape Version 2.4.2.3231-g2ac69ec

Build Number - 2.4.19080.1303

I checked the box in the ‘About’ panel to get notified about the latest preview, restarted, and installed the latest preview. The normal map now loads in its actual color (blues and pinks) but i’m still not getting a bump texture.

It doesn´t look like the Enscape render. Looks like sketchup viewed in Enscape..?

@lukekvasnicka_1 The image looks really flat. What quality setting and sun power are you using. The bump map effect only becomes really visible with light.

Any update on this? I too am not seeing any definition from my bump in enscape.

Bump in general should work fine. Have you increased the value enough? Can you send me a screenshot of the material settings of yours plus the output of Enscape next to it? If possible, please also briefly attach the bump and color map for me to check out. Thanks!
