Hi there, Question for ya. When using bump mapping how does the bumpiness slider actually affect the map? I mean does a value of 1 mean that the maximum depth of the bumps will be 1 or is there 1 a pixel depth between each successive level of gray in the bump map? For instance, a grayscale bump map I created for use as a bathrrom tile has white,black and 4 shades of gray in between them. So, do I need a value of 6 to get the full effect of the map or will a value of 1 create "bumps" between each of the different gray levels? Thanks for any help Dave Mennenoh 71561,2343
