Bump mapping

1

I have been trying to learn bump mapping, and I was completely blown away at what you can accomplish doing this in max. This is the first experimental image that I used. Pretty much used some default library images, except for the background scene, which is a hdri (something else I am trying to learn).

I thought the image was awesome so I am going to post it. Any suggestions on how to improve it would be appreciated. Like what I don’t really like about it is that the cracks are bumpy as well. All that was applied to the bump map was noise.

i have no clue on what bump mapping is.

that looks unreal, very nice. i’m curious to see the original image you started working with.

as you said, photoshop the tile texture to make it a bump map as well…

mlk yeah that is a good idea

dig, what do you mean?

WoW nice… But 3dstudioMAX is to exspensive for me :frowning:

sry im graphically challenged
:trout:

like … did you create that entire image from a blank canvas?

i’m guessing that you had an original image to start with.

other than tiles are usually not that roungh, but it looks good. Are you using gradient map for the incident angle of the camera?

DDD: no but I am reading about incorporating that . I just through the plane in there

Digital: pretty much from scratch, the reflection is from a photograph

T-0: you can get a student liscence for less that a grand, if your a student

Hey DDD just because it looks really bumby doesn’t mean it really is. I have see fake tile that looks exactly like that. And it wasn’t very bumby.:wink:

BTW that is some awesome 3D work there. I am getting Max very soon. Hopefully I can get good at it.
