Bump maps

AsuraSpike10 · 13-05-12, 05:07

What's a simple way to add bump maps to a model? The model has the bumps but there not showing.

P.S. I can't use blender.

Are you using XNALara? Or another program?

Could you post a screenshot?

I'm using XNALara. The only thing I have tried is going in to the generic_item.mesh using wordpad and adding them but it still doesn't show.

Does the textures has the same name?
Like:-mouth_diffuse.png
-mouth_bump.png

Also be sure the option "Display Bump-maps" is enabled in XNALara

I don't want to say something stupid, but I think it's a render group problem. Render group 7 supports one texture if I remember well, that's why XNALara shows only the diffuse and not the norm..

Render group #7 supports only one texture (diffuse). You have to use other group for what you need to do.

Here are groups listed. And here are most of them described with examples of use.

So how do I change the render group?

Just like you change anything else, manually. Instead of 7 you should insert a group number that supports bump textures. Try writing 4 instead of 7, it should support both diffuse and bump.

Finally got it. However I have found just changing the generic_item.mesh along isn't enough. After editing I open the model in XPS it has a load generic_item option that allows opening the generic_item.mesh which loads the model with bumps showing afterwards I save it as a generic_item and then bumps work.

Thanks for all the help I would have never figured it out without you-all.
