Is it possible to add parallax mapping to models in the end, and not just levels?

You probably could, but it'd cause deform and clipping issues for sure.

[DT.]

I was meaning more for weapon models. It would enhance the overall quality and will still be able to keep the model within the vertex/triangle limits.

Oh. Yeah, that would be nice. I still haven't found an application of parallax mapping which looks decent though. The idea behind it makes sense and it sounds useful though.

Parallax bullet holes:

 

 

Brick:

 

 

When done properly, you get these sorts of results.

@@DT85 Parallax mapping should already work on models...

[DT.]

I've tried it in OpenJK & ioquake3 and it doesn't, unless there is a different stage name than what you would use for level textures.

Is rend2 on hold for now?

[Xycaleth]

I've been trying to find some time to work on it but I've been pretty busy with life in general recently. I'm still chipping away at the things that need doing so there's always some progress, even if it's slow at times.

Can you post the shader you've been using please?

		map models/players/maul_test_s            

		specularReflectance 0.50

	}

}

[Xycaleth]

Something I forgot to ask: I'm assuming you have r_parallaxMapping set to 1?

[DT.]

Yep, parallax mapping works on map textures just not for models. Also specular isn't working on map textures or models and normal mapping isn't working on MD3.

[Xycaleth]

I should be able to take a look at this tonight Hopefully should be fixed before I go to bed

 

EDIT: Also @@DT85, are these models the first person weapon model, or something else?

[DT.]

I've only tested with map MD3's & GLM player models, not any weapons.

[Xycaleth]

Okay...so I realised I don't know how to make a parallax map for testing @@DT85 can you provide me with a parallax map please? :3

[DT.]

Will do.

[ensiform]

Pretty good chance that its not going to work on models.  You'd have to ask SmileTheory though.

[Xycaleth]

It should work fine. I found a bit of code that disables parallax mapping on models. SmileTheory said it didn't look right on models at the time he implemented it I'll try enabling it again and see how it looks.

Its still just crashing my OpenJK on startup when I run with rend2

"still"

First I've heard of it.

I've been PMing him for a few days trying to get it to work Seems to be an access violation.
