I'm having some trouble with bump_maps. It seems that when I apply a spherical
or cylindrical bump_map to an object and then rotate that object (around the
y-axis) the bump_map won't rotate with it. Could someone verify this? It doesn't
really matter what code I use, because I've tried it in several ways.

Regards,

 Using Pov v3.1g and the following code I could not duplicate your problem.
Either one of the two commented out rotates rotated the bump map predictably
the same amount. Pov.gif was simply a gif image with a black background and
the word Pov printed in white. I did not try it with cylindrical mapping
but spherical worked just fine.

  sphere  { 0,1 
 pigment  { rgb 1}
  normal  {
 bump_map { gif "pov.gif" interpolate 2 map_type 1 bump_size 1}
            // rotate 90*-y
          }
            // rotate 90*-y
          }

I see what I have been doing wrong now. The bump_map I was using didn't make
things very clear, with another gif I could figure it out. So, I should've tried
a little harder...
Thanks!
