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
