There are 2 bump maps provided below, as well. They do NOT need to be downloaded, as they are already applied as independent materials somewhere in the model... so they are existing already in the model, and Twilight should find them automatically after clicking the render button once on the "After" model.

These are provided in case you want to practice applying a bump map file to your scene's material, or for studying what they look like to help you make some bump maps on your own. You can of course also use them when following the part of the tutorial about applying a bump map.

In the "After" version of this scene, you will see that the Bump Map Textures is also used in the "Reflection" (Specular) Slot for their respective materials.

The pool is built with the waves already in the model.
As demonstrated in the video tutorial, apply the Material Template "Realistic Glass>Water" to the pool water material. Then change the color to WHITE for the pool water in the material editor, and UNcheck the "cast shadows" box for the water.
That's it.

Hi Anna,

You can use any graphic editing program like Photoshop, Gimp, Paintshop etc...

A bumb-map is a technique where at each pixel, a perturbation to the surface normal of the object being rendered is looked up in a texture map and applied before the illumination calculation is done. Bump Mapping use a gray-scale image map to change the direction of surface normals. You can use this to simulate height, so that you can paint wrinkles and bumps.
50 % grey means neutral (no change is made), lighter means higher, darker means lower. Note that the position of faces is not actually changed; by rotating just the normals, lighting will change too, to give the illusion of a height difference. This has downsides too: the outline of objects isn't changed, so the trick is given away.

You can read more about bump mapping here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_mapping

Hope this can help you achieve what you're looking for...?!
Cheers
