What is a head avatar/texture?
What are the difference between bumpmap head, head avatar, and head texture?
I don't remember what head avatar does do, but I can tell you about head texture.

Head texture is template and you can put your texture (picture) on it. Larger texture: better-looking head. Picture must be saved in .png or .tga format.
Here is a great explanation of bumpmap textures.

the sphere to the left does not have a bumpmap texture.

The middle picture is the bumpmap texture.

The bumpmap texture is added to the sphere to make it look like an orange.

You can use bumpmap textures to add a popping out effect like it does in the orange displayed in the picture.

Thats what a bumpmat texture does. There are tutorials around the forum that teach you how to make one.

Head avatar is a small version of your head which appears next your bounty text ingame.
