Hello all.

I am wondering if there is posible to add a bump map to the standard car paint material? (mental ray)
If so, where do i put it?

I am trying to mix it with Multi/sub object material with a uvw modefier so i can controll the bump map which will be a logo.

Thanks,

Bret L

I can't believe I've been using this material for 6 months and not noticed that there isn't a bump map slot. The only thing I would suggest is to use a blend material and control the bump in the second material slot. Although this would only work if the logo isn't another mental ray carpaint material.

Also try asking in the Mental Ray shaders thread -

Hope this is of some help

Wasn't there something like a Material to Map wrapper in mr? If so, try using it with the car paint shader for the color and add a bump in a mr material.
