Now you're talking about parallax mapping.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_mapping
Of course the truncated cone looks better - but that's not an endorsement of normal maps. It's an endorsement of parallax maps. Poser doesn't do parallax mapping. It could, but if it did, it could do it with bump maps too.
Start over - show me the difference between bump mapping and normal mapping.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
