Practical Parallax Occlusion Mapping



Concept versus realism
 - Stylized object work well in some scenarios
 - In realistic games, we want the objects to be as detailed as possible
Painting bricks on a wall isn't necessarily enough
 - Do they look / feel / smell like bricks?
 - What does it take to make the player really feel like they've hit a brick wall?

Rich, detailed worlds help the illusion of realism
Players feel more immersed into complex worlds
 - Grooves, bumps, scratches
 - Deep shadows
 - Turn right, turn left - still looks 3D!
