Bump Map Acceleration

Bump Map Acceleration

Ed,

It bump mapping seems to work for me here.

I have a geforce4 ti 4200 using quadro 4 drivers with the softquadro4
patch.  It seems to work best for me under directx than OpenGl - although
both do work.  Just tested it with 1 simple scene and one more complicated
scene and both worked.  One thing to note, if you are updating the textures
as you go along, they may not update in the solid view properly.  It also
only shows bump textures, not bump shaders.

Another thing to check is your UV mapping, if it is a coin then default
mapping is probably cylindrical, so you wont see your bump map on the top
until you assign the top face to be planar.

HTH

Mike
