EMT_PARALLAX_MAP_SOLID render artifacts

[pippy3]

I'm having some trouble getting EMT_PARALLAX_MAP_SOLID to render correctly.

I've played with the makeNormalMapTexture values and the MaterialTypeParam, also the saturation values of the depth image.

When it renders it has almost stripes through it. The textures are both 128x128. I have a video card that supports EMT_PARALLAX_MAP_SOLID in the example.

Code: Select all

							((scene::ISkinnedMesh*)mesh)->convertMeshToTangents(); 
							video::ITexture* NormalMap = driver->getTexture("art/box-bump.bmp"); 
							if (NormalMap) 
							{ 
								driver->makeNormalMapTexture(NormalMap, 9.0f); 
								mesh->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("art/box.bmp")); 
								mesh->setMaterialTexture(1, NormalMap); 
								mesh->setMaterialType(video::EMT_PARALLAX_MAP_SOLID); 
								mesh->getMaterial(0).MaterialTypeParam = 0.035f; 
							} 

I can't figure out why it would do this. I've rewritten my code many times (including addAnimatedMeshSceneNode with SAnimatedMesh from a createMeshWithTangents)

Anyone else seen this before?

hah. As soon as I post it I solve a 2 day problem.

Code: Select all

//driver->makeNormalMapTexture(NormalMap, 9.0f); 

Was being called multiple times.
