I have tried to use the ParallaxMapping effect from coding4fun. But the effect only workt correctly in the FX Composer, in the app i have exactly the same parameters but it looks very different: http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=unbenannt4ri4.jpg Has anybody an idea what could be wrong? Code: create mesh.box set vertax coordinats set vertax elements set effect parameters effect beginn

I do not know whether it is right, but a normal bumpmap works.
I initialize the box that way:

boden = Mesh.Box(device, 10.0f, 1.15f, 10.0f);
VertexFormats format = VertexFormats.PositionNormal | VertexFormats.Texture1;

Mesh tempBox = boden.Clone(boden.Options.Value, format, device);
boden.Dispose();
boden = tempBox;

CustomVertex.PositionNormalTextured[] verts2 =(CustomVertex.PositionNormalTextured[])boden.VertexBuffer.Lock(0,typeof(CustomVertex.PositionNormalTextured), LockFlags.None, boden.NumberVertices);

for (int i = 0; i < verts2.Length; ++i)
{
if (i >= 0 && i <= 3)
{
verts2.Tv = verts2.Y * 0.3f;
verts2.Tu = verts2.Z * 0.3f;
}
else if (i >= 4 && i <= 7){ ...}

boden.VertexBuffer.Unlock();

VertexElement[] elements = new VertexElement[]
{
new VertexElement(0, 0, DeclarationType.Float3, DeclarationMethod.Default, DeclarationUsage.Position, 0),
new VertexElement(0, 12, DeclarationType.Float3, DeclarationMethod.Default, DeclarationUsage.Normal, 0),
new VertexElement(0, 24, DeclarationType.Float3, DeclarationMethod.Default, DeclarationUsage.TextureCoordinate, 0),
new VertexElement(0, 36, DeclarationType.Float3, DeclarationMethod.Default, DeclarationUsage.Tangent, 0),
new VertexElement(0, 48, DeclarationType.Float3, DeclarationMethod.Default, DeclarationUsage.BiNormal, 0),
VertexElement.VertexDeclarationEnd,
};

VertexDeclaration decl = new VertexDeclaration(device, elements);
Mesh tempMesh = boden.Clone(MeshFlags.Managed, elements, device);

boden.Dispose();
boden = tempMesh;
