Graphics "Bumps"
« on: August 01, 2014, 04:35:47 PM »
In Options>Graphic Detail>Advanced there are Bump options, e.g. Bump Map, Plane or Vehicle, etc.  What does this mean?

Thanks

bumpmapping adds shadows and highlights to each frame to give the pictures more depth. Without it you lose some of the "3Dness" for a lack of a better word.


On is prettyer, off is faster.
