[QUESTION] Parallax bump mapping for Shadow of Chernobyl?

[Sol1vaN]

I've noticed that on DX9 vanilla 1.0006 with global illumination and all setting at max, the textures looks awesome. But with DX11 seems the parallax is not present.

There's a way to enable this on OGSR?

Comparatives:

SOC DX9 1.0006

SOC OGSR DX11 6 nov 2024 release

Cheers.

Afaik terrain parallax is not available in this version of the engine. Planned to change it to terrain parallax from Screen Space Shaders v20.2.

Check

r_terrain_parallax_enable on

in your user.ltx. It's disabled by default to avoid artifacts on vanilla textures. And make sure that the textures you want to be parallaxed has parallax[yes] attribute in textures.ltx.

BTW vanilla SoC doesn't have real parallax, it's just distorted bump mapping (with too much gloss as on your screenshots).

thanks, but there's no r_terrain_parallax_enable cvar on user.ltx user.ltx.txt

in game the r_terrain_parallax_enable is not recognized. seems the only way is to wait the next v20.2 release

r_terrain_parallax_enable was removed in last release so yes - just wait for next release
