Quote - If you're using a texture set where the author, being lazy and/or naive, has actually made the bump map by converting the color map in any way, then you should not use that. You'd be better off with just a turbulence node.

In any way? Why? I don't see that. It seems to me that most of the skin surface is going to correspond to bump, in the sense that darker areas are probably going to be slightly recessed (pores etc). And the rest can then be corrected manually (e.g. brows, lips, nipples, moles etc) in the converted map.

No?
