Duff-e Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 parallax mapping i was reading a review and it kept coming up
InsaneSingingBlender Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 its kinda like bump mapping i think http://www.infiscape.com/rd.html
Pericolos0 Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 yeh it makes the bumpmaps look really 3d by parallaxing the pixels according to your viewpoint like the stones on this wall:
mikezilla Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 its actually a clever trick more than actual technology. When you generate a normal map it uses hellamath to calculate a series of normal maps that essentially stack on top of each other. So its many normal maps that Parallax scroll. Like I said cool trick.
Section_Ei8ht Posted November 22, 2004 Report Posted November 22, 2004 yeah, thats a screenie from Unreal 3
