How to make brick texture appear bumpy Which node should I add to this material to make the structure appear bumpy (mortar inset relative to the bricks)?



I tried various combinations like [Brick Texture] Fac &gt; [Bump] Normal &gt; Normal [BSDF] and [Brick Texture] Fac &gt; [Bump] Normal &gt; Displacement [Material Output] and [Brick Texture] Fac &gt; Strength [Normal map] Normal &gt; Normal [BSDF] and so on, but I didn't find one that had any effect.
The bump node converts a height to a normal map by reading grayscale gradients. If the height map is too sharp there isn't anything to create surface angle shifts.

Increase the mortar smooth to get a broader gradient at the brick edges
