Green Gandalf when I try to compile your terrain shader codes in DBPro 7.62 I always get the compilation error -

for AdvTerrDiffuseShaderDemo - source code attached as zip along with this post.

What is going wrong here ?

The min and max functions require the Matrix1 Utility Plug-ins. Alternately, you can write you own min/max functions.

Yep, that's the problem. I often forget to warn about that.

The two terms are often used interchangeably - unless you mean bump mapping or relief mapping using a height map. Normal mapping is simpler but relief mapping gives somewhat more realistic results. Personally I'd get some experience using normal mapping first and move on to more advanced techniques like relief mapping later.

Green Gandalf: Thanks for the advice. Your examples are compiling now
after I installed Matrix 1 Utility plugin. I will try to add relief mapping shader that comes with Dark Shader to your shader and see if it works or not.
