Hello everyone,
Can anyone tell me how come my bumpmap keeps having weird dots/waves all over it?

Its just a solid color. SO there is no reason for all the crackly dots and stuff... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

What format is the bumpmap picture in? . it looks like it's a jpeg at very low quality causing these artifacts. If it is, use tif instead.

I have not seen this specific problem before, but you could try as a first fault trace attempt to remove any image filters you might have on the texture. Open the file node and set filter type to none and remove any pre-filtering.

Good luck

Wow, thank you!!! Hahah it should have been obvious. I was saving all my stuff for web at about 60% quality Jpegs. Saved as a tiff and its rocking fine :) thanks a million :)
