Dave, I resorted to using a texture map only. Looks great, until you get an extreme close-up of the tile, then it looks, well, less than realistic. Gary seems to think it's due to the bump/texture combo. If you can have the grout and tile the same color, try using just the bump. Or maybe, scale/copy the object down about 99.75%, use a combo bump/opacity map (opacity to make the joints transparent) and color the scaled object the grout color? might work… Steve Ormonde
