Parallax It! - No Extra Geometry/Subdivision! Parallax Occlusion Mapping

by BeeBee 3D in Addons


New product from BeeBee

What is Parallax It?

"Parallax It" is a powerful utility that transforms any PBR material into a realistic, 3D parallax occlusion mapped material. With a single click, it makes flat surfaces appear as if they have depth and complex geometry - all without adding a single vertex. Saving you performance and render time. The add-on also includes an intuitive interface with quick basic controls for easy adjustments.


Features

  • One click Parallax - click one button & select your textures
  • Quick controls for Parallax strength, Normal strength and Parallax UV Scale
  • Automatically detect roughness, normal, metalic, albedo... textures
  • Realistic Depth Effect - make 4-vertex planes look like they have intricate depth and geometry
  • User friendly interface - add-on is located in the shader editor N panel


Realistic depth effect!

Create a unique looking depth effect without adding any geometry to your scene. A simple strength slider is all you need. 


Where to get materials?

I use CC0 textures from these sites:

PolyHavenAmbientCGShareTextures

You can use ANY image texture material as long as you have a normal and height/displacement map for it.

How it works & requirements:


Required! Normal and height/displacement texture.
