Bump mapping is typically used to make a low-poly 3D object look more complex by tricking the lighting calculation. You can use jit.gl.slab.gauss6x to smooth out the bumps if you like.

this looks like a cool patch… but when I open the grabber, I only get a black videoplane on my macBookPro i7, GT 330M, os X.7.2, Max 6.0.3 51824

Am I missing something ?

Let me know how that works for you.

There are no error message in the Max window.

Do other jit.gl.material or jit.gl.pix examples work on this computer?
What version of Max?

jit.gl.material and jit.gl.pix works fine on this computer.

(macBookPro i7, Nvidia GT 330M, os X.7.2, Max 6.0.3 51824)

Switching it out for jit.gl.gridshape should help:
