Realtime Normal/Parallax/Relief Mapping Demo

Sounds interesting, will give it a go asap.

A low amount of depths they look fairly similar, but at high depth amounts relief mapping clearly looks better as it actually add more polygons. This also got a rather hard performance hit.

Parallax mapping looks slightly better than normal mapping and with this implentation the performance seems similar.

The second link gave a 404

[edit] Ok somehow if i go here:

and click the link for reliefmap3.zip i'm abail to download it allthough it is the exact same adress

So if the link in the first post fails try this.[/edit]

[edit2]hihihi i see now why

You put a , last in the adress, so this one is clickable

Interesting indeed.

Made a little test myself.

A nice little toy to play with really

Edit: Sorry for bumping but I just noticed this thread now so

Relief maps didn't work for me, nothing visible when in that mode.

I have a 9800xt, is this normal?

Parallax looks awesome though.

If it's a technique that involves using vertex texture fetching to perturb the actual geometry, it probably isn't supported on pre shader-model 3.0 cards. Traditionally, cards can use textures for effects (normal mapping etc) in pixel shaders only. Allowing vertex shaders to access textures was a new addition with shader model 3.0.
