not see difference betwen normal and bump map. only you in strange way get bump map. But from hight angle both looks flat.

[@davidbittorf]

They are both flat. If you need something different I would suggest a displacement.

[@boblolo3977]

Very nice. In your example the normal map seems to carry much more information. Would it be fair to say they're superior to bump maps?

[@davidbittorf]

Yes, I think normal maps are more convincing than bump maps.
