parallax mapping

[ghiboz]

hi all!
I have this problem with the parallax map...



here is my code to do this:

Code: Select all

			Smgr->getMeshManipulator()->makePlanarTextureMapping( groundMeshes[i]->getMesh(0), 0.003f );
			
			video::ITexture* colorMap = Driver->getTexture( "rockwall.bmp" );
			video::ITexture* normalMap = Driver->getTexture( "rockwall_height.bmp" );
			Driver->makeNormalMapTexture( normalMap, 9.0f );

			//Ground = Smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( groundMeshes[0] );
			scene::IMesh* tangentMesh = Smgr->getMeshManipulator()->createMeshWithTangents(	groundMeshes[i]->getMesh(0) );

			Ground = Smgr->addMeshSceneNode( tangentMesh );
			Ground->setMaterialTexture( 0, colorMap );
			Ground->setMaterialTexture( 1, normalMap );

			Ground->getMaterial( 0 ).SpecularColor.set( 0,0,0,0 );

			Ground->setMaterialFlag( video::EMF_FOG_ENABLE, true );
			Ground->setMaterialType( video::EMT_PARALLAX_MAP_SOLID );
			Ground->getMaterial( 0 ).MaterialTypeParam = 0.035f; // adjust height for parallax effect

			// drop mesh because we created it with a create.. call.
			tangentMesh->drop( );

Are you sure that the planar mapping creates a proper texturing of your ground mesh? Otherwise the tangents will be completely weird and produce arbitrary results.

I tried to remove the planar.. this is the result:


if I use the default texture ( not parallax ) the map is ok:
