[Bf-committers] cloud/marble/wood bump patch

[car]

All of this. Is it the method to create Normal mapping ? Or something 
close ?
All I know of is that bump mapping does it's thing in the z axis, so at 
the corners of the mesh the bump detail falls off and loses it's charm. 
While Normal mapping does it's thing on all axis's x,y,z,

And this part I was told to do in the source.

In source/blender/blenkernel/intern/image.c,
change:
Code:

if (tex->nor) return 3;
else return 1;

to

Code:

return 1;

at line 711 and line 1485.
This will of course, make all .blends that use bumpmaps render 
incorrect - you have to set No RGB in material buttons to get back to 
bump maps.

But I do not have a good normal map to test yet.

I had thought that during the displacement render that the displaced 
mesh could then have it's detail extracted and made into a normal map.  
So then whatever Ton and eeshlo are doing here could be used for the 
extra fine details into blender.

Or would Blenders renderer need a re-justment ?
