Hi,
It's possible to make tiles as beautiful as this...
http://news.povray.org/web.453705254259a6395c4e856a0%40news.povray.org
.... just using a bump_map?

I tried with this file...
http://www.noctua-graphics.de/images/download/tex/tiles/tilebump.jpg
.... and this pov code:
texture
{
  pigment { rgb 1 }
  finish {
    diffuse 0.9 ambient 0.0
    specular .8 roughness .01
    reflection { 0.05,.1 falloff 2 exponent .8 }
  }
  normal { uv_mapping bump_map { jpeg "c:tilebump.jpg" bump_size 10 } }
}

Thks,

JSR.

     I don't see why not.

   And what was the result?

       I don't think you need the "c:" before tilebump.jpg.

there are so many different ways to create great textures.  experimentation
is the mother of all ideas...

try this, for instance:

texture {
pigment { rgb .8 }
normal { average
  normal_map {
  [.7 gradient x bump_size (-.8) translate .5*x slope_map {[0 0][.98 0][.98
1][1 .6]} ]
  [.7 gradient y bump_size (-.8) translate .5*y turbulence .002 scale x*.1
slope_map {[0 0][.99 0][.98 1][1 1]} ]
  [1 quilted control0 .2 control1 .2 bump_size (.6) translate .5*(x+y)
slope_map {[0 0][.98 0][.98 1][1 .6]}]
  }
}
finish { ambient .3 diffuse .2 specular .3 roughness .1 }
}

looks decent as a quick hack, but in need for more tweaking...
