Blender Tut 5: Bump mapping

[KBjuni0r]

Thanks for you help! :)

[TyylerS]

has anyone really donated to you?

[hamsterhill]

yes i have been luck to have afew donations from some awesome people.

[ZayLong]

so whats the diffrence between using this and normal maps? is this better?

[hamsterhill]

they are pretty much the same thing but a normal map is like an upgrade of this... bump maps move the surface across only one axis (the face normal) while a normal map uses the Red,Blue and green values of the pixels to move the surface in 3 axis

[SUPERREDproductions]

is this how u mix textures like grass/rock together???

[hamsterhill]

no to do that you need to add the 2 textures and then add patches of alpha to them to make them blend into each other.

[SUPERREDproductions]

can u make a tutorial on that ????

[hamsterhill]

hmm... I'll try sort something out when I get home I have never actually done that before so I'll need to do some testing. I'll give it a go tho.

[Xenxe777]

well texture paint works awesome for that sorta thing its always what i use for terrain

[hale992]

[hamsterhill]

too loud or too quite? my computers really loud so my volume settings are abit screwy.
