Thanks Weyu I'll get looking into that this afternoon,

cheers,

gubar.

Edit:

I've looked into it and read the help files. I've now created a new set of UVs just for the face, and made a UV snapshot and created a new tiff to be used as the bump. The problem I have though is that although I've loaded the file into maya in the hypershade, it is not a texture. So, in the uv relationship editor, I can select my uv set, but there is not texture to assign to it. I'm still trying to figure it out at the moment.

On the right track though,

cheers,

gubar.
