Who would use bump mapping?
Bump mapping has a variety of uses, from rendering engines to real-time applications. In real-time and gaming, it’s always been necessary to keep polygon budgets at a minimum, while achieving a rich detailed look. With graphic card technologies improving, it’s becoming possible for game developers to implement bump mapping for more realistic environments. Military VR applications can include bumps on water or terrain in low flying scenarios to give the viewer an increased sense of depth.
