How can I make bump map larger?

[LARV]

Hi,

I can´t seem to find a way to give a bump setting larger dimensions. When I render the rock bump map it´s too "zoomed out" making it impossible to see the rocky surface. Does this make sense?

Is there a way to make the dimension larger? Seems to me like something very basic..

You can try changing the UV parameters in the texbitmap material. Changing the tile could do the trick. I usually add another diffuse layer (use a white color in transparency) and add the same bump map to the diffuse slot. This way I can alter or rotate the bump map in the sketchup window using the standard texture tools. Because of the white color in transparency it won't render. Oh, make sure the new diffuse layer is above the diffuse layer you want to render (be it a color or image).
Hope this helps!
