Description Well here it is =mechangel2002 I"m not sure exactly what kind of bump mapping you wanted exactly. Weather it was for a character or just an object. If its a character it may be done a different way. Anyways they steps are as folowed. I used a ploygon plane for this example.

1) choose a lambert and bring up your editor for your lambert.
2) go down to your Material attributes and and click the box on the far side of the color option
3) your "create render node" option box well pop up. Click on the "file" box and find your colored file.
4) Once this is done it well show your texture in a texture sample box.
5) Now go back to your lambert file and you well see an option for bump mapping click on the box on the far right again and search for your bump map file which should be exactly the same as your colored one execpt black and white. Add this as well.
6) it well appear in the Tex. sample box again.
7) Render a pass of this to see how it looks. If it looks like it is really crappy play with the options to bring down the detail to where you want it to be. That should be it.

I know this sounds really simple and I"m saying this in a way where you are a beginner. Truth be told I"m not sure of how far up your skills are and I tried to keep it as simple as possible just in case. This type of texture may not be what you are looking for but I do hope this helps out in anyway, if not feel free to write me a note or an e-mail even and let me know exactly what you are looking for and I well do my best for you. Even the files you want done could help me understand what you want done.
