BSM_Renderer easy made Bumpmapping

| Hi folks Iīve wrote a little function-lib to handle dot3-mapping easier. It based on special colored Cubemaps as underlaying texture behind dot3-textures. You can assign Lightsources to the Cubemaos, to give Bumpmaps a korrekt Light-Direction. The BSM_Lib will handle and update this for you.

| This looks interesting - I shall take a look. |

| To be honest I don't visually see much bump-mapping. This is one of the problems with Blitz3D and I wonder if it is more apparant on some graphics cards than others. In honesty, on my system, there is only slight bump-mapping on those globes. |

| Hi Shoda, thanks for sharing. Puki -it doesn't make much sense to add bumpmapping to a globe IMHO. I'd use it eg. for wet surfaces or so. It may also be neccessary to increase the contrast and/or saturation of the dot3 texture. Additionally you may play with the blendmodes of the texture layers, depending on the situation. I think the diffuse texture should use blendmode 5 an not 2 that is default. |

| Yeah! I looked for an old example of the same method in another thread but nobody had the file anymore. I was very keen to understand that method. Presented as a handy library is great! Thanks Shoda @Puki :I also thought first that i donīt see much. Then for clearance i disabled the colormap in the source and then obviously you can see a bump map there. |

| Hey thanks - anything that makes Blitz bumpier (easily) is goooood. |
| ||
| Nice lib! Thank you Shodan. Can I use it with animated meshes? |
| ||
| Why not. If you can assign Cubemaps to animated Meshes, it should work. |

| Sounds great, thank you! Just downloaded. |
| ||
| I like the glossy one. |
| ||
| Very cool, thanks for sharing this. |
| ||
| Thanks for good response. Download updated. Some little errors in manual fixed. cu Shodan |

| Thanks a bunch! |
| ||
| I like the asteriod example, that was nice. Much appreciated Shodan for the lib :) |
| ||
| Yup, very nice Shodan, thanks for sharing. Can the models (asteroids and planets) as well as the textures be used also in other projects ? Regards, Sergio. |
| ||
| Yes of course. The earth-texture was from a NASA-Website. And the simple asteroid is made with a modeler within 30 seconds. Shodan |
