| Apr 7, 2021 at 7:25 | comment | added | Gh0stRunner | EXR was what did it for me (bit depth of depth map), thanks a bunch @vklidu—you can make an answer if you choose that I can mark as the solution | |

| Apr 7, 2021 at 4:59 | comment | added | Nathan | We need to know how you made the depth map, as well as everything you ever did to it in other apps, in order to tell you what you did wrong. Yes, if that .png is the depth map, it doesn't look great. (Maybe it spent some time as a .jpg and suffered .jpg compression artifacts?) The file itself would let us recreate the problem. However, you're always going to have artifacts from bump mapping when zoomed in to the pixel level. | |
