Here's a stupid question
Um wat is the differecence between bumpmaps and normal textures

alright normal textures obviously add skin
bumpmaps enforce that if your cpu can handle shaders and raytracing it makes it look bumpy

Bumpmapping, as it is in photoshop as far as I'm concerned, is when some specific values of what you're making give depth to it when rendered in three dimensions. Like so.

However, I'm not entirely sure. So don't quote me on how it effects toribash.
That's pretty much it, though technically TB uses normal maps rather than bumps to get the effect.
