ya can make a bump map in gimp just paint it on there.

---

not sure about Poser but in most app's normal maps are better then bumps.
to make a normal map ya need a app that will paint normal maps.
don't know if gimp will.
or In zBrush I sculpt it and save as a normal map and or a vector maps.
guess Blender can also.
