lcda Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Is there a way to render with texture bumps and without colors i use this options and use bumps on textures and the render goes flat, is this a bug or I´m doing something wrong Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Yeah, that whole bump thing can be a bit dicey. Are you using an image as the bump, or a texture? Quote Link to comment

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted October 29, 2020 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hello lcda: This should work, I tried with and image bump on a sphere with textures on and colors off and I'm seeing the bump map. Your rendering has glass showing like it should so it's doing something. Is the bump too subtle or really large or really small? 1 Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Oh, sorry. I am blind 😞. I didn’t notice in your screenshot it said image. My bad. Honestly, I don’t know if images, as opposed to say, ‘noise’ for the bump, will generate what you seek to facilitate. I will mess with it later today to check that out. 1 Quote Link to comment
lcda Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Thanks I changed the image and nothing happens I´m trying with more bump strenght Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Icda I just gave it a go and it worked for me as well. There are a few caveats with the rendering set up, and without actually having your file to test, kinda hard to factor in to be apple for apples. One thing you might check is using the 'size' widget to make sure the image is large enough. My first attempt, rendering using custom RW, did not show any bump..... When I increased the size of the bump image, using the widget in the setup, it worked like a charm....no color, but the bump was there. Perhaps this helps. Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have some spare time at the moment if you would like to email me a blank file with an object that includes your texture, I am happy to test it on on my end. taviri@mac.com Quote Link to comment
lcda Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Texture is form renderworks arronway texutures Concrete PIP Rough but now works with bump strength 100% thanks a lot!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Kevin K Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 To be clear....what I was pointing out Icda, was being able to increase the overall bump size in the settings dialogue window....the concrete texture you used was pre-set to 24" within the settings. IF you wanted it to appear larger, or smaller, on your surfaces, just change that dimension in the settings. Perhaps you were already aware of this , so excuse my comment if that is the case.
