Parallax mapping

whathappened · 2006-04-16T09:59:58

I dont really know if this topic fits into the DirectX forum but I hope so since it's about shaders. I just wonder, what is parallax mapping? I know how to make bump mapping and some displacement mapping (to actual change the geometry) but what is parallax mapping? Anyone who has a good link where it's explained cause I couldnt find one

Yeah, that's one site I'm never going to visit again.

Yes, parallax mapping is just about pushing texture coordinates away from the camera. How far it is pushed, depends on EyeVector * ParallaxMappingScale
