Hey I was just wondering what the best file type is for a bump map in Keyshot? I used a jpeg file simply because when I tried to use a targa or a tiff the lines from the UV map showed up all over the model even when I deleted the layer containing the UVs in photoshop before exporting to keyshot.

You can always covert it to a normal map. That gives you even better control over the bump map.

I no longer have access to crazy bump so I guess I'll just use that nvidia plugin for photoshop thanks.

Here is the link for the plugin, in case any one was looking for it:
