Hi Ben,
Yeah - the main problem for us is I pushed all our artists to use the
builtin bumpmap node in 6 seeing it's the same code and doesn't make
sense to dig through lots of menus and directories to pull in the same
shader. So, oddly as it never happens, they actually did switch. So
we've got tonnes of scenes which are using this shader that are
unrenderable without being redone. Not particularly impressive for a
"repackaging" release and almost cost us a deadline as testing core
factory shaders isn't part of our standard pre-rollout procedure.
Cheers,
Alan.
