I was avoiding general group because of image uploads not being accepted there,
so I'm not sure how you were able to do that.

Showing the render here that I was able to make using *your updated* bump_map
file, along with the SDL I posted here before (including fixed normal
statements).
And I regret uploading my version of the bump_map in PNG while leaving the
resolution size large, made almost 4 MB download file. Sorry!

I did not use reflection and radiosity, and also removed the image_map to use
only color rgb 1 which allows seeing only the bumpiness without any other visual
effects other than light source shadowing.

If you could show your resulting render here, to compare with this, it might
help figure out why you can't get "success". Must be an answer anyhow.
