That's really weird! Which version of POV are you using? Because I actually did
have ONE face which seemed right for every orientation as well, but TWO showed
problems with either the UV-mapped or "flat-mapped" version of the bump map, or
even both, in some orientation or the other.

I'll post a shot from my scene in the binary newsgroup soon (can't do it right
now because my monitor has just been fried, so I can't access my private
computer), along with the original bump map I used.

Mysterious thing. That's my opinion :)
