Problem with Bump in 3DsMax 2019

Hello,

First of all, I'm sorry if I make mistakes, or for my bad english, I'll try to be as clear as possible.

So, my company wants to try Arnold for realistic renderings, and I was missionned to create light scenes and textures, based on what we've already created with cummon rendering.

My problem is that I can't find how the bump mapping works. I tryed everything I thought logical, follow the Arnold tutorial on the website, spend the last 2 hours searching on every website online, but I really can't make it work.

I have a vectorial map in 2D that I connected to the "Normal" node with the "Bump 2D", but it's not working, I don't see it on the image. I'm not sure if I'm clear, so here is some images :

This is the standard rendering, the one I would like to recreate with Arnold, and the tree in the material view.

And here is the result I have with Arnold, the Tree and my 2D Bump Map settings :

If anyone can help me, please !

Thank you so much 🙂

The connections for the bump map looks good.

Are you sure you have a decent uvw for the bumpmap?

Maybe add the bump also to the clear coat as a test or turn that off.

Hi Michiel,

Thank you for you answer, I try to add the bump to the clear coat, but it wasn't changing.

I try to re-save the bump map in "jpeg" and larger size, and it's working now. I don't really understand why..

Thanks again 🙂 !

Those normal setting in there is strange. You have a little bit of an uphill battle coming from Vray I assume to Arnold as it is not very fast at all for rendering still "Visualization frames". You will need "Hollywood" rendering power to get a fast result. The Arnold guys are working on some speed options still.

Anyways I think max gradient is not supported. Normals should be 0,0,0.

See the image:

Also check on the image node that the files that you are using for bump or normal are configured as "linear", so Arnold can read the values correctly.

Can't find what you're looking for? Ask the community or share your knowledge.
