SUPER BUMP
Super Bump for Eevee brings the power of material displacement to the Real-time engine!
Tightly packed alpha-clipped layers add real depth to reinforce Normal and Bump map effects without the need for the super-dense geometry associated with displacement, and real shadows created by the engine's lighting system complete the effect.
The Super Bump Manager sets it all up for you with a single click!
Super Bump can give you the same results you'd get from Cycles material displacement or a Displace Modifier but with a hundred vertices instead of tens of thousands.
Installation Instructions
To install the addon:
- In Blender, click on Edit, then Preferences.
- Click on Addons, then Install.
- Browse to your downloaded Super Bump Manager.zip file, select it, and click Install.
- Enable the addon.
- The Super Bump Manager will appear in the N+N tab of the Properties panel in the 3D View and Shader Editor windows.
To append the nodes:
- In the Manager panel, click on Update Super Bump.
- Browse to your downloaded .blend file, select it, and then click Update Super Bump.
The next time you open Blender or start a new .blend file, the Manager will remember the location of your downloaded .blend file and display a button to Import the nodes directly without the need to browse to the file again.
Usage Instructions
To create Super Bump materials:
- Select your object and then click on Add Super Bump in the Manager panel.
- Blender will open a file browser. Select the textures you would like to use and click Load Image Textures.
- The Manager will add the Super Bump layers to your object and automatically build a complete material using your selected textures.
Your Super Bump object is ready to go!
Please note:
- Super Bump is not for use with Cycles as the transparent layers will require high light bounce settings and render times will be very long.
- For best results, enable Contact Shadows for lights in the scene.
- When running on a MAC Pro, transparency processing in Blender is very slow and as a result of this, Super Bump is not recommended for MAC Pro users.
The download includes several sets of PBR textures generously provided by PolyHaven.com.
In your download you'll get a .blend file containing the shader nodes and the Super Bump Manager addon which creates and manages the layers and adds the nodes to your material and sets it up automatically.
