Can somebody post a screenshot of an example of bump-mapping in TR? I've never seen it, i don't know if my video card supports it, but i've never seen any difference in graphics. So can somebody post an example of bump-mapping in TR?

Do any of you use it in your level?

A general interpretation of bump mapping can easily be explained.

All light areas of a bitmap are offset as are the dark areas. This facilitates in a pseudo three dimensional effect.

The effect is best illustrated by the use of strategically placed lighting within a level and does not effect such a difference with none.

I do not have visual examples, however I hope that this helps.

well I've never though it as a lighting subject all I can see with my on boar graphics chip, it isn't even a graphics card is that without bump mapping you see the texture in 2 dimensions as a single drawing but while bump mapping is in on you can see it in 3 dimensions as you can see the high and bas-relief and that's why the lighting looks more realistic.
