1st question:
If you had a texture in 1 size and a bump map with a different size,
what benefits or disadvantages does it give you ..?

Also:

2nd question:
Each time i apply a bump map to the texture, and when i render the scene for preview,
i see the texture getting pixelated !? Why..?? and how can i make them disappear...?

By the way, i am trying to do this in ..Vue 4 Professional..

Thanx:thumbsup:

Usually I use bump and color maps of the same size. Scaling down a bump map would smooth it out, and that might sometimes be what you want if your software doesn't have a texture filtering option that does the same thing. Textures shouldn't appear pixelated, I hope your software has a filtering or smoothing or interpolation option that fixes that.
