This was a test render for the floor material I made using Filter Forge, a very useful texture creation utility

guess u have to invert your bump.
filter forge is a great tool.

hi Pete, nice render.

you'll generally get better bump results with normal maps. you can get a free normal map filter creator for photoshop somewhere. vray likes normal maps

[Tong]

or you can use Height2Normal
http://www.biomekk.com/index.php?itm=13
it`s free and compatible with vray too

here is a version with a normal map and some grain detail on the floor.
I guess I should start posting these in the WIP section. :oops:

What's the difference between a normal map and a bump map

Did you use grain detail in the first two pics or is the grain popping out because you are using a normal map?

The new flooring looks more natural. BTW, nice rendering.

The first two renders did not have any grain detail, on something this subtle there is very little difference using bump or normal maps, thanks,
Peter
