Sorry, I assumed you were referring to displacement which is not the same thing as a bump map. Displacement actually modifies the geometry during render based on a bitmap, where bumpmapping is a smoothing type rendering algorythm which doesn't modify the geometry but 'fakes' displacement using bitmap to modify the surface normals for rendering.

I thought I had seen maxwell V1 images which supported bump maps... perhaps I was wrong.

...I wrote ´´the wall have a bump,...the problem is,..when the bumplevel is higher than 5 it looks a little fuzzy...´´so have you read that?
And the table and the latern have a bumpmap to...
There is no problem with the stonelatern but the table always have that look from Level 1-10.So I will make a Testscene to show the problem,...!
I think you don´t have to tell us how Bump and Displacement works,...with a bumpmap the shadows on the wall will still look flat buddy,....
So bumpmap will do nothing for the shadow....do you realy think you get with bumpmaps a surface where shadows look the same way like on a displacement surface,...I hope not!

when someone asks for CC I generally quickly read as much as possible. I don't have unlimited time however, so I often just put my points down. I'm sorry that I repeated what someone else wrote.

However, if you look at the image, are my criticisms somehow WRONG? I assumed there was some confusing between displacement and bump mapping and posted info about that... keep in mind the name of this thread is... " My FIRST Maxwell V1 Image ". I don't always know the knowledge level of those posting. My intent wasn't to insult you.

I'm offering my time and expertise. Sorry I was remiss in reading every single posting.

for example...you wrote bump will fix the shadowproblem,..I wrote it will not,...but whatever...regards
