I forgot about the new uv_mapping abilities of the regular mesh. I guess it
happens there too.

I'm no expert myself, but I would expect that the image the uv coords map into
is declared as a texture statement somewhere. I would also therefore expect one
could add a normal statement there to get bumps. I would also expect that for
good results, it should probably be based on another image(grayscale) but
anything there should produce something bumpy.

I'll have to give it try later. I'm going to need to know all of this soon
anyway.

Keep pluggin! :)
