Hi everyone.

I have seen around the forum allot about the Bump map and the Specular map but nothing that i could use for what i need.

What i wanted to ask is if i can use as a Bump map a B/W image and not a Normal map.

Also can i use a Specular Map like i do in MAX ?

PLS help out here.

Yes, you can use height map and not a normal map, it depends on your shader, all of the simple bump map shader uses height maps (grayscale)

To add a specular map to your shader just add a texture sampler and add the specular from the image

ShaderFX has some good bump map shaders where a greyscale map is used for the bump in their samples
