The best parallax mapping shader out there for blender! The illusion of realistic displacement on a single face (or more, you just don't need dense geometry like you would for displacement).
A custom algorithm results in smooth occlusion with no warping or stepping as in other parallax shaders.
Shadow mapping (specify your light object in the shader editor).
Silhouette mapping for both planar and non-planar (check "non-planar" in the parallax OM node) meshes.
- Now supports tiling and scaling.
To use (documentation), just append the "Parallax Shader" material or use the asset browser. you need your image texture (any image texture will work) as well as a height map (the same thing as a displacement map or bump map which ships with most PBR textures). There are also many tools to generate this such as Laigter. Choose them in the shader editor, and you're good to go!
New: A version for Blender 5.0+ is now available, which allows you to set the number of parallax "Steps". Higher steps will give you higher quality at the expense of being slower.
