Bump not working

Hey! Love your course it's my favourite so far. Everything worked for me up until bump node I did exactly like you did and plugged it into normals and plugged the mask into the height but it doesn't work it removes the entire texture we created and does a weird emission effect and if I move the sphere it slowly disappears not sure why it does that couldn't find any information online and I restarted everything but I still have the same issue. I'm working with blender 3.6 since my computer can't run newer than that.

    Hi Dakshan123 ,

    That's super weird!

    Could you provide a link to your .blend file, please (via Dropbox, Googledrive, or so)?

    Hm,

    This is when I simply connect the Bump in your file in 4.2:

    So, all good there.

    And in 3.6.14:

    Not sure what's going on  Dakshan123 ,

    But it's not that something is wrong in your file.

    Very often the Graphics Driver is the problem in cases like this; try upgrading (or maybe even downgrading) the Driver. Also make sure your Operating System is up to date. (But there also, sometimes an Update breaks something...)

    And just to be sure, I downloaded 3.6.15 and tested it there  as well. Same result, all good.

    perfect thank you so much I'll look into that and hopefully it'll fix it I've been having this issue with a lot of my projects that use bump or displacements in the texture and I did a lot of research and couldn't find what I was doing wrong and gave up a lot of projects but you've confirmed that it wasn't the files but the graphics driver or updates or something else outside the file, which makes sense since I have a really bad computer. Saved me a bunch of time trying to further research what was wrong with my files thanks!

    You could also try disabling all 3rd party Addons, if you have any; they can also be the cause of weird behavior in Blender.
