strange problem.

yes, this is in the 2.2 branch release notes,
you cannot use a bump and normal map at the same time.
if you do, the normal map will take priority and will be use solely.

The reason for this is that if we were to change it so you cand both, octane would become much much slower.
The benefit would outway the artist merging the bump map into the normal map and using the normal map alone.

You can convert bump maps to normal maps, google for tools, i even think blender does it, but i don't know how.

well both of them dont work for me too.. I tried bump and normal maps applied seperately..but they did not work individually also

I'm a Blender user, but I'm not sure that Blender can convert directly BUMP maps into Normal maps. It can bake a 3D model into a Normal map texture.

However, there is a simple trick to convert BUMP maps into Nor maps in Blender :

Create a highly subdivided plane and apply your Bump map as a Displacement texture for a Displacement modifier.

Then apply the modifier to make the displacement real.

Create a second object (a plane) and apply an UV texture to it, a material and create a new texture image on which you will bake the Normal map.

After that select the displaced mesh and the plane, and bake the Normal map using tangent parameter.

Save your Nor texture ! it is done.

For my own, I use CrazyBump pro : It is really fast, allows many settings and generate Specularity, Occlusion, Normal, and displacement maps in one operation !

I'm used trial version of 3d's max and autocad
month worked reinstalled windows, put back a trial, what the problem is

Well, the most interesting excuse) Well if I were a hacker, I never-would not allow such nonsense to put on display software)) where the logic.
But the trial use has not been canceled, give yourself avtodesk download 30 days of use, so I and a bunch of all, I just want to see how it works, I generally work in Archicad


Trial version allows you to download all of the company, the reason to train people to work in them .... what is my fault I do not understand I can not install a trial Oo, I shocked

If I were a hacker my desktop would be clean, but I am only a student, and while searching for software which will work in the future, so I just piled up and even Houdini opened and closed)))) interface is difficult, of all the tested software, I would note autotCad, it really is good, although there is an alternative to the same compass free

Trial version I downloaded from depositfiles.com
sorry for bad english
