O.K. But I wanted to BUMP MAP the terrain map- like Tom easily did in Bryce 5, so that I could get added realism in my Vue 5 renders. Heh! Well this became a NIGHTMARE as unlike the EASY Bump Mapping Vue does with object materials, --for some TOTALLY WEIRD reason, --Bump Mapping a Terrain makes the map really $#&%!! messed up.

After a week or so of getting frustrated with this I discovered Chipp Walters excellent tutorial on how he made an HP computer using Vue's Terrain Editor. The really IMPORTANT info in there was the EXACT formula and method of applying a Bump Map to a Terrain. You have to follow it very carefully!

E-On MUST Change This! It is extremely easy to bump map a terrain in Bryce 5...
