This has probably been asked before, but here goes . . . Is there any way to use a greyscale image as a bump map? Back in my Bryce days, I could load up a picture texture and use it as the bump map as well. In Vue, I only see these function things for bump mapping. -Christoph

Hi Christoph !

you can use grayscale image as bump production function.
Here is how it's done :

1. go in the bump panel of the material editor
2. right mouse click on the production function and select "edit function". The function editor window will appear.
3. choose "mapped value" for the layer and load a picture.

Yep, Eric's got it! It's not so obvious, and alot of people have asked that, actually.

Thanks Eric!
