Can anyone please help me with this?
I have exported a .fx file from RenderMonkey for Bump Mapping... Is there a way for me to apply it to a .fbx 3D model in XNA?

There's a sample that shows you how to do it through the content pipeline:

http://creators.xna.com/en-US/sample/normalmapping

On www.gamecamp.no I have added an example program that use Normal mapping with HLSL/XNA.

Download my XNA 2.0 shader programming examples from here: http://gamecamp.no/files/folders/gathering2008/entry409.aspx


I will publish them very soon( later today/tomorrow ) on my blog as well, using XNA 3.0.
They can later be found on http://digierr.spaces.live.com/.

Just wanted to notify you that I have written my first 7 tutorials, where tutorial 4 is about Normal mapping.
Sourcode is included and is now version 3.0.

I searched through Google if there's tutorial for bump mapping on XNA, and I always landed on this page.. One thing that I wonder though, he's asking for bump mapping, not normal mapping, why do you guys keep telling him to look at normal mapping tutorial? Or may be I don't understand, what's the difference between normal mapping and bump mapping? According to my artist and colleague, they are different.. though I can't really tell the difference after looking at the XNA sample on normal mapping..

I believe that normal mapping is one way of doing bump mapping,
