Try bumpmapping a brick surface. Pavement is grey. To combine with a greyscale map would not produce very good results.

Well with a brick texture is almost ok,but there's that black spot between the bricks.
Hey,can you give me a screenshot of your Imga Converter tool's settings before you export the texture,maybe it will help me

Ok. Do the following in the Image Converter:
1. Select your bitmap
2. Select the size of your bitmap (mine was 128x128)
3. Check on "Generate Specular Map"
4. Check on "Generate Grey-Scale Bump Map"
5. Select 24-Bit Bump Map
6. Click the "<< Convert >>" button

I did all of this,but it was still dark.I think it was because of the Brightness level I set it to a lower value and it worked! Thanks a lot for all your help and time paradoxnj! That's one more thing done in my game

Nice. QoD, can you add the information about how to get bump mapping working in the FAQ?
