Heightmaps anyone???

<< < (3/3)

engineer:
L4D's iteration of the Source engine solved this with self-shadowing normal maps. They work well enough and don't rape FPS as much as heightmaps tend to.

Loafie, Hero of Dreams:
sucks source didn't work in parallax as well as they could have, cause damn it's beautiful

if we can get self shadowed normal maps in that's something i would totally consider wanting to put in.

engineer:
If this can be replicated via shaders in the OB engine, it would be AWESOME.

kraid:
good idea, since they have no decrase in performance compared to regular normalmaps.
The only drawback, they are harder to do.
