Bump Maps?

<< < (2/4) > >>

falloffalot:
Am I right in thinking if the two colours that make the bump possible (black and white),
would different shades of grey make any difference?
I mean: insted of just full bump (black) and no bump (white) would grey make a medium bump?

3D Joe Wiltshire:
if you thought that, you'd be right, yes, the colours affect the bumpy-ness of it, and if you want a more obvious bump, the bumpmap texture in the material is only at 30%, bump it up to 100 to make the bump more obvious

hihosilver:
Yes, inbetween shades of gray make smaller bumps.  It's the same with transparency maps and specular maps.

Actually if you go to view->preferences and tick the Use Shaders box you'll be able to see  the bumpmap in real time

"Use Shaders" is grayed out in my preferences, any obvious reason why ?
