I seem unable to create smooth textures from a .TGA file. I have a simple graduated fill (created by KPT) which is black at left and right and blends to white in the middle. I was hoping this would create a smooth rounded bump map but instead it is very jagged and every band of grey is visible as a definite step in the bump. Its even worse if I repeat the texture round a torus when I simply getting banding not unlike the pattern on a Coral Snake. I've tried playing with the contrast and brightness and blurring the bands of grey. What am I doing wrong? TIA Paul Harris Digital Workshop
