Parallax mapping

Posted on: Dec 3 2006, 07:00 PM

Parallax mapping is a small modification to bump mapping that tries to take into account the height of the surface. Here are today's results. I went with a different texture today, one with more pronounced grooves to better demonstrate the effect.

Texture: IPB Image

Normals: IPB Image

Height: IPB Image

Bump mapping: IPB Image

Parallax mapping: IPB Image

You can see in the parallax mapped picture that the grooves between the stones are obscured (or partially obscured) at small angles.
