Gernge Quick Tips - Parallax Occlusion Mapping | Cinema 4D Redshift

This quick tip introduces the Parallax Occlusion Mapping technique. It's a great effect to enhance the appearance of depth to a texture, similar to a normal map, but without the use of heavy displacement. Using this in Redshift is very simple thanks to OSL.
There are a few settings to tweak to get the best results, which I also cover in this quick tip.
This information should apply to Redshift in other DCCs, as well as other render engines that support OSL although specifics about OSL support will vary from engine to engine.

Super cool. Interesting to see how it works in RS. Thank you very much for your videos!

[@gernge]

my pleasure, Silverwing! i searched and didn't see any results for this in Redshift and was surprised how straightforward it is to setup, thanks to the RS discord

Your content is on fire mate. Thanks for all these tips.

[@caesarcandra5438]

amazing tutorial bruh, keep it up

[@bloohaus8670]

Is this similar to how unreal does Parallax mapping? Can you fake depth / volume for spaces on just planar objects with this? Also does this just replace displacement, or do they fight each other due to how they work?

I've tried in C4D 2024.2 with Redshift 3.5.22 and it seems this OSL script has some issues, it's not working anymore.

Hello ! I am trying this tutorial with Reshift (3.5.13) on Maya (2022) and it doesn' t work..
