I know I been wanting to see something like this. I seems It will take forever to do but just to see what will be the outcome of a whole map with bumpmaps kinda like quake 4. Has there ever been maybe even a custom map Bumped?

Well anyways did anyone start that idea?

The main problem is that the file size for the map would be quite large and it would drain resources too much. Bump mapped everything is not the best idea.

...and those are just prop models. Doing an entire map would be TONS of work and offer little or no reward. Not to mention it would probably bring even the best systems to a crawl.
