Hi

I just downloaded the 3.1d version and recognized, that Bump Maps aren't
working anymore the way
they should. All objects with Bump-Maps applied are very Dark, nearly
black, even if there pigment is white.
Are there just any syntax changes that cause this error, or is there an
error in the renderer ?

Here is some code that shows the effect, the rendered image just shows a
Dark gray sphere.

camera {
  location <0,0,-10>
  look_at <0,0,0>
  }

light_source { <0,0,-10> rgb <1,1,1> }

sphere { <0,0,0>,3
  pigment {  rgb <1,1,1> }
  normal { bump_map { gif "plasma2.gif" }  } // this gif should be in
everyones include directory, but you can try any
  }

You are correct. It is not behaving correctly. You should make a bug
report immediatly before too many people download this version. The
standard distribution file bumpmap.pov can be used as the example of
incorrect behaviour since the pov team already has this as a reference.

I verified the problem and posted a report to .bugreports.
The problem is related to the double_illuminate bug supposedly fixed in
3.1d. Put a light source inside the sphere to see what I mean - the
illumination is visible from outside.
