Things that go bump in the night...

I have a few questions I'd just like to clear up about bump maps. Yes, I've read the release notes, but I want to be sure I've read them RIGHT. I often don't!

1. It is not possible to create and upload our own bump maps, is this correct? At this time, we're limited to using the predefined ones? (I realize that the exception is to use the lightness or darkness of an individual texture - but it can't be used JUST as a bump map and NOT as a texture, correct?)

2. Bump maps can't be applied to clothes except for the wrinkles, correct?

Thanks!

So far as I know, you cannot curently upload your own bump map textures. The closest thing, as of now, is using the Brightness/Darkness textures. So far as I know, these seem to operate by raising (or lowering, respectively) the "brighter" or more oustanding colors on the texture itself.

(I could be COMPLETELY wrong here, but this is the kind of behavior I observed using them..)
