Could indigo use this? (of course not in RT like the main porpouse of this shader)

I think that would be not much slower than bump and the result.... errr...

I have implemented a simply Parallax Mapping (not Steep one, since it needs PS 3.0) in realtime and i could provide you some documentation if you need , but is so easy to find.

It's such a hacky technique.. I would prefer displacement mapping.

and what about relief mapping?

Wooo-hooo

The Demos are rocking so hard!!!!1!
And a Max Plugin for each technology (me a poor c4d user... nobody loves us

Both of those methods are useless for something like Indigo.

Instead, if for some reason you insist to model in this way, ask your 3D program vendor for it. (To convert your "maps" into tris)

Yes, but that's something entirely different

(and definitely something I'd like to see in Indigo

)
