I've made a Brick material and for the life of me, I can't get the bump map to work properly. The bump barely registers when the bump value is at 80. I would like it to have fairly deep mortar lines in the brick texture.

I'm not a newbie but I have been known to be sleep deprived.
Can some one download this material and see if the bump map works properly? It's either that or I'm missing something completely obvious.

Here's the Link:

Hi chrisnvp, i tested your file and for bump you need to make it more contrast and add some blur here the file: http://download.yousendit.com/9C6E51187DBF128A
and in the Think site you have a tutorial for make bumps map: http://think.maxwellrender.com/search.p ... words=bump
Hope it helps

Yep - what he said.

I tested it as well, and tried converting your bump to a normal map. It works a bit better but the other route will probably do more. If it still doesn't work you might want to rebuild that material fresh - I had some oddness when testing for my own bump map problems and found a brand new material seemed to work when the old one wasn't. I won't swear it worked, it might have just been the alignment of the stars too

Good luck
