Well as I have thought texturing is a beast but I think I am starting to get a hang of it. I have a question about BumpMaps however.

Is there a value in maya that you can adjust to decrease the influence of a bumpmap? Right now I keep going back and forth between photoshop and renders trying to figure out the perfect shades of gray, which of course is very annoying. Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
