Bump Maps Don't Seem To Work

<< < (2/2)

AlecJames:
Sorry.  I had written an essay about it and was proof reading it when Davdud101 got in with the solution. My summarised one liner went to the other extreme. :)

Old Codger:
Thanks all.

Steve:
AlecJames What graphics chip do you have? Bumpmaps should work for both GLSL and ARB shaders:

AlecJames:
Its Intel Graphics HD4600 but

its a Dell precision laptop (5 years old) so it has both the 4600 and an amd firepro m5100.  I recall when using OBS there is some power saving setting in windows 10 that forces OBS to use the other graphics card, I will look....

I just asked Google:  Settings -> Display -> Graphics settings; set Anim8or to use the fire pro:  It's the same; GLSL no bump map in the workspace, ARB works OK.

I never really understood the detail about this, I just learnt that if it renders but doesn't show in the workspace, change the setting :)

I'm glad I found this. I couldn't get bump map to work on my old Elitebook 2760p laptop (also Intel graphic chip). For me it was the opposite - for some reason ARB was installed, no bump map. After switching to GLSL, the bump map appeared. The search function in the forum is a big help. Edit: It disappeared again, and was reactivated with ARB. And the render was better. I'll never understand this, but am happy that it somehow works.
