Dec 18, 2017 at 14:51 comment added michaelh Yes. Your normal map is completely useless. There are only some artefacts on the map. It is otherwise completely empty. (i.e. a solid color without variation) You should be able to see faint lines similar to your wood texture.

Dec 18, 2017 at 14:42 comment added MCunha The problem is with the normal map it self. For some reason its not the correct one to use... It is compressed and generates unwanted stepping. You should download correct diffuse and normal maps (don't use printscreen or similar).
Dec 18, 2017 at 14:34 comment added Liam S @monatsend Thanks for offering to take a look. I've edited the post with my blend file :-)

Dec 18, 2017 at 13:40 comment added monatsend yes you can add more pictures to your post, but I would recommend that you append a .blend file (blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com). and don't forget to pack the textures in the file. If you dont want to share your files, just create dummys. The only important part is your normal / bump map and the Material.
Dec 18, 2017 at 13:14 comment added Liam S michaelh thankyou, I am using a normal map (purple-colored). @monatsend I managed to get that view of my plane - it was a flat blue surface. I can upload another picture if it doesn't violate the forum rules
Dec 18, 2017 at 12:52 comment added michaelh Looking at your node setup, the Texture for the diffuse color should NOT be set to non-color data, but "Color". Also, are you using a bump map (greyscale) or a normal map (purple-colored)? (as already asked by @monatsed) Those have to be treated differently.
Dec 18, 2017 at 12:16 comment added monatsend The Normalmap is the map you see in the middle of this image. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping#/media/… Can you show what image you plugged in the second image texture slot in your Material (the one which goes into the normal Map Node). Normal map and Bump map are two different concepts
Dec 18, 2017 at 11:58 comment added Liam S I'm unsure if this is what you meant - imgur.com/a/duWw6 - if not I'll do my best if you explain it. Cheers!
Dec 18, 2017 at 11:34 comment added monatsend can you share the normalmap?
