When I remove the default bump map and put anything else in .. it does not have bump characteristics. See image below. Thanks for any help. :banana: p.s.

I think maybe it was misnamed since it looks like it's all normal maps in workspace. Post by Jack Edwards // Jul 4, 2007, 11:38am Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Did you UV map the object? And does your vid card support bump mapping? -Jack. Post by jhowell // Jul 4, 2007, 11:38am jhowell Total Posts: 400 Hi, Thanks for your help. However, I was grabbing just a standard bump map image file from off my hard drive. I have lots of bump maps. I should be able to load any bump map file in to the area that says NORMAL TEXTURE and that should create the bump map. I replaced the standard BLUE GRID bump map file that was the default NORMAL TEXTURE and replaced it with different bump map images from my hard drive. Nothing works. hmmmmmmmmm Post by jhowell // Jul 4, 2007, 11:45am jhowell Total Posts: 400 Hi Jack, Yes, I added a uv. Basically all Iam trying to do is make a sphere. Add the DX MATERIAL TEXTURE BUMP MAP from the dx material library. Then I go in to the LE materials and change texture bumpmap NORMAL TEXTURE to a different image. It should create a different bump map THAN THE DEFAULT BLUE GRID bump map. The default blue grid bump map works fine and my video card does support bump mapping.

Bump maps look like this: 7271 Normal maps look like this: 7272 Quote clintonman "You can assign a bump map on model side and it will convert it to a normal map for the workspace side." Post by jhowell // Jul 4, 2007, 5:48pm jhowell Total Posts: 400 Thank you for you help. That did work. But why? I have used Softimage XSI and 3d max .. a bump map file is what you use for a bump map in those 3d programs. Not a normal map. Why is this different in Truespace workspace? Post by jhowell // Jul 4, 2007, 11:01pm jhowell Total Posts: 400 Thanks again for your help. Iam having problem figuring out how to add the bump map in the model side and use the texture created version of that bump on the workspace side. I can not find or figure out how to use the texture created bump map file on the workspace side. Any info would be appreciated. :banana:
