Now we'll add a bump map to our texture and set some parameters of V-Ray rendering engine. 5. Bump map, displace map First, create a white vray material for the plane and assign it to the plane. now return to the first material. In the Maps tab, click on the Bump button on the right (the one with "None") and select Bitmap. here you must choose a bump map of the selected material.

Press F10 and RENDER. It's a slighty improvement of the image. The texture it's more "alive".

6. Setting V-Ray render engine In the Image Sampler (Antialising) tab use Mitchell - Netravali with 0.1 settings. In the Environment tab check all those 3 boxes, becouse we'll use HDRI images to illuminate the environment and for reflection. In the Refraction environment override tab we'll choose white color.

Open the Material Editor and simply drag'n'drop the Map with HDRI into an empty material slot and select Instance. Do the same with the reflection HDRI.

Now choose a HDRI file. I choose a free HDRI image downloaded from http://www.aversis.be/hdri/free-hdri-003.htm

At the Indirect illumination tab set the GI "On", select Light Cache for the Secondary bounces. In the Irradiance tab check the Show calc phase button (on the right) and Detail enhancement (on the left). In the Light cache tab (scroll down and you'll find it) check the Show calc. phase button in the right.

F10 - RENDER You'll notice a big improvement.

We have assigned a HDRI for reflection. Now we'll make a reflective material, so that we can see some reflection in the render.

For the Reflect Glossiness choose a value of 0.9 (towards 0, the surface is more blurred, towards 1 became a clear mirror). F10 - RENDER You can see the effect of the HDRI for reflection.
