TSE Relief Mapping?

#121 Whooohoo your the man ;-)

#122 Thanks mate, this give's me what i need i should be right now.

#123 Now i feel like a pain, download not working can you e-mail it to restock76@hotmail.com?


thanks.

#124 Email sent.

#125 Thanks matt, Works like a dream. (looks hot)

#126 Matt,

Thanks for putting that out there. I thought I'd share a serendipitous effect I got with it. It's not what I wanted (I'm going to try to tone down the heightmap next), but I just thought it was pretty freaking cool just the same!

I'm trying to make the tile on the right here stand out a bit, and get nice and shiny:
You can see it has a nice bumpmap already. But my first shot on the parallax shader yielded the closest thing I've ever seen to a rendering of an LSD trip! I've just spent 20 minutes staring at it and thought I'd share this 12 meg avi:

#127 Lee,

i like it, better then drugs lol

#128 Holy crap that is weird look can you post a pic of your height map?

#129 Hmmm I destroyed it during my testing...oh wait it was just a straightup monochromized version of that wall image. Lotsa pure whites and pure blacks soooo it was pretty steep. I toned it down a bit and got results closer to what I was after, but in the end decided that this shader was not actually what I was looking for for this particular requirement. I'll darn sure keep it in mind, though, it's freaking cool.

#130 Yeah but it was weir it was like there was a total disconnect between the raised sections and the lower sections.

#131 @ Matt:

Hi Matt,
are you still trying to have dynamic lighting working with ReliefMapping?

Take your time, only curious if it will get long time or you're near the solution :-)

Tnx for the good work! ;-)

#132 Maybe you did see the post about 10-12 up where he said that it is working and there is a link to DL it.

#133 Yes but it seems to me that he said is for parallax and is still working on relief...
Or am I wrong?

JoZ.

#134 I don't have the time to port the relief shader. Look at the differences between parallaxP/V and parallaxLP/V for a reference.

#135 I have this problem where everything is extremely distorted and it looks like water.


What can I be doing wrong?

#136 I'd say your height map is way too extreme--too many pure blacks and pure whites. Try lowering the contrast on it to more smooth greys.

#137 Can you animate that ? That would make a great horror or shield effect on objects.

#138 Wow, that could be really freaking cool if you could do it as a post process full screen effect!

#139 BTW is that Doom 3 video near the top parallax or relief?

#140 Are you sure you used relief?
I see a reflection in there (the green thing top middle) so perhaps it would work without that little "extra" gimmick.
