I want to add a scaley bump map on my dinosaur but wonder if anyone knows a way to vary a texture in photoshop based on a gray scale value. eg. I want to have a scale texture that reduces in size depending on another image's brightness value, sort of like a dot screen for printing.

I'm not sure where to look for tutroials on the net either?

I don't think there is a way to do that.... you may want to try that approach directly within your actual 3D application though.
