Parallax Shader

Right now, there's not much to look at and it's pretty complicated, but fuck me, it's shinier than something really shiny.

Impressive! How much of an effect does it have on the frame rate?

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » March 26th, 2006, 19:27

huge.

you're looking at a halved frame rate right now.

however, with some work and stuff (like limiting the distances it does parallax at) it could become pretty cheap (though, still more expensive than bump and normal mapping)

It's still it's early stages though, amirite?

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » March 26th, 2006, 19:37

pretty early, yes.

That does look rather tasty.

Keep us updated, looks like it's gonna be ace!

That looks quite impressive, had a bit of a run around in it, and it wasn't unacceptably slow.

The effect work quite well except near the edges of the screen, and can't do surface deformation yet - if you shoot the face, the bullet holes float on the wall's actual suface.
