Hello all,

Thanks to PhilBo and gristle.
I now know how to bump map.

But i got a few questions.
For some reason bump maps dont work on a plain object.
But if i get a cube out and delete everything except the floor of it then it will work. why is that?

everything can, you just need to make sure you have uv mapped all your objects, then apply the bump map.
