Evidence please. This meme keeps coming back and whoever says it wanders off like an Alzheimer patient when I ask for visual evidence that a bump map and a normal, made with the same level of care, produce a difference in appearance.

 

since you ask so nicely .I'm not making a video to show you how bumps vs normal treat shadows from lights.

.there's not a create bump map button in zBrush.
.all the best looking game meshes have normal maps on them.
. allegorithmic makes normal maps.
. quixel makes normal maps.

so if the old timey bump maps are so great then why would any one bother with normals ?

cuse n hate me all you want but don't use the word Alzheimers again.
ya never know who on here might have kin with Alzheimers.
