I need help with my shader. I want to make it support direct bump.
So i've calculated new_normal = ! ( cd->n + delta_n )
I don't assume that it will give the desired result. But when i return "new_normal" in the Output function of my shader, it doesn't affect the bump mapping at all. The sphere i test it with has absolutely no bump.I guess i am doing something basically wrong here.
Btw. If i return "new_normal" in the color channel i can see clearly the desired structure.

Are you defining CHANNEL_DIRECTBUMP in the overloaded GetRenderInfo function of your shader data?
Then in output you have to set cd->vd->bumpn to your new_Normal.
That is all I do. The tricky part ( where I spent alot of time in SLA ) was contstructing the messaging system so that complete texture trees could be evaluated for the bump channel ). Now that was fun! :-/
