Another material test with a simple caustic effect and more.

Just a simple material test and its work as it's intended to. Of course, there are a few issues and material work only one level deep in sub materials and sub textures part for test reason.

0212.jpg Why I can't feel any bump on the teapot. What I'm doing wrong? Small scale, huge scale, it doesn't work. Only shadow problems with huge numbers. Regular bump works but NormalMap not so much. scene.textures.Map_0.type = imagemap scene.textures.Map_0.file = E:\Brick_Diffuse.jpg scene.texture...

Thank you for that suggestion, I'll gonna try that. But I still struggle with the old issue. Any kind of bump especially with a bit high value will cause the same problem. Check this if you can find anything wrong with it. scene.textures.Map_2.type = imagemap scene.textures.Map_2.file = E:\Brick_Nor...

So we can use bump or normal and not both at the same time.
And what about .normaltex ?

This is how I add an image as a texture map then add it to normal texture and finally apply it to the material. scene.textures.Map_2.type = imagemap scene.textures.Map_2.file = E:\Brick_Normal.jpg scene.textures.Map_2.mapping.uvscale = 1.0 1.0 scene.textures.NormalMap_2.type = normalmap scene.textur...

Maybe the problem is about input value in the Normal map. What exactly the input value is?
Is that another image map or texture or something else?
I tried to input another image/texture but I get the same result.

About the odd shadow on objects, I tried to use scale texture in between bump and normal map it somehow works and didn't dork at the same time. When scale parameter is too low it seems work but with really small value. I barely can see the effect. Especially about Normal Map. Maybe there is an issue...

Thank you B.Y.O.B
That solves the issue, I can still see a little bit black when I try to apply bump but it's acceptable.

Hi. Dave a little help here, please. I face old issues that really need to be fixed. When I render the scene without any bump everything looks fine but as soon as I add any bump texture odd shadow on objects begin to appear and it looks like about shadows stopper or segment issue or some other probl...
