Bump Maps
My bigger question is how to make ray traces look their absolute best. My walls end up looking sparkly. There are dark spots throughout, and materials aren't looking real. I know I have to learn more about material definitions.
One video shows the wood floors looking realistic due to bump maps. But there is nothing explaining what a bump map is, where it is, how to get it, and how to apply it.
Thoughts?
