Bump |Bump Space

dropdown

UV - Normals are calculated relative to the UV coordinates space.
The UV Bump Space mode is the more traditional approach but can lead to noticeable seams and color variations.

World - Normals are calculated relative to the World coordinates space.
Using the World Bump Space mode gives a more seamless result.

 

By default, Bump Space is set to UV.

entry box, slider

How much the white or black values are pushed or pulled from the surface.

 

From 0 to 1; defaults to 0.500.

What the range of displacement is. This setting is multiplied by the
Displacement Scale to give the
displacement.

displacement.

 

From 0 to 1; defaults to 0.500.

entry box, slider

How many texels the surface is
tessellated to.

 

From 1 to 64; defaults to 10.

Selecting yes changes the displacement so that displacement moves the surface but leaves the
surface normals as they are.
