Hello,

I use latest mayall plugin and tried to render simple plane with bump map - with no success. Could someone tel me, is it a known bug of maxwell beta or I do something wrong? I carefully studied manual and experimeted on B&W and also RGB images - no idea what's wrong...

thanks for any reply

i had the same issue, sometimes i got bump, sometimes i didnt. I made sure my bumpmaps were RGB, and sometimes if u use a perfectly square map, i get bump.... i dunno, it unpredictable for me so far.

I've solve it out!
The bump occurs only if the emmiter is in the scene (bright enough). Then you can combine it with a skydome or physical sky. Without an emiter the bump won't work!:(
