yeah - that's a good question. nothing has yet been decided about how
to use the new technology...
right now we'll just make a proof of concept viewer (probably off
Dave's shadow branch) and use the existing bump maps as the relief map.
someday, we'll want to provide the ability to upload/attach some new
height map - but then we'd also like to be able to upload/attach
specular, reflection, normal, etc, etc, maps for our materials.
perhaps that someday might eventually come. :)
