hi guy's that is me again. sorry about that. but here another small problem with display of bumpmap in modeling view. it is only visible in render view. I applay a bumpmap into a light of a car, I applay a planar mapping into it. but i can not see the bummap in modeling view only in render view. so if any little change happen in object i have to go to render view and see it. it very irittating me. please help. have a look clearly at the image and see what can you see to me or advice me please,

thanks everyone and happy mother's day to everyone:headbang:

This might be a dumb solution...but have your pressed 6? So that you are showing high detail? Also I would actually rather have it as you now...but thats just my preference.

well, usually you don't see the bump map in the viewport, but if you go to view-high quality rendering (on), you might be able to see it.

render view for bumps or use ashali shaders or what ever theyr called
they just render in real time so u can see bumps and displacement maps without havin to render 0 but r ram intensive an nt all gfx cards do it well

Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here

Could be your cardas the recommended carsa are the Fire type.

You could use a IPR render to adjust the positioning, should be quicker than re-rendering the frame, plus thats what its there for!

hi gster123

thanks for replay. i know with IPR render is easy and quick, but i ,m using some gnomon maya dvd training. In the dvd lecture he use normal modeling view. and he does not need everytime press IPR render, so should be somewhere that need to be turn off or on to see the bumpmap,
i try contact the lecture of dvd , but it is hard, he use all the time for explain the dvd's, but he did not explain how to see the bumpmap. so it is for me question, it is in somewhere, but i don,t know. it is gnomon car modeling dvd. any help welkom

Dunno if this will work but try going to shading->hardware texturing, and then in the materials attributes go to hardware texturing, in the textured channel select bump map then set the resolution to highest???

Don't know about your bump map dilemma, but the viewport problem sounds like you have maybe back clicked on the viewport and selected front view. Just a thought...

Nah man it's just like you've changed the defaults and its always defaults to it.

The solution I used was to import the file into a new scene, seems to solve it, but its a work round rarther than a fix
