Parallax mapping with nodes in realtime blendernation. Parallax mapping also known as offset mapping or virtual displacement mapping is a shading technique that displaces the individual pixel height of a surface, so that when you look at it at an angle, the high points will obscure the low points behind them, making it look threedimensional. If you are using parallax occlusion mapping on an object that takes up 80% of the frame buffers pixels, then it will be much more prohibitive than an object that is going to take 20% of the screen. To the end user, this means that textures such as stone walls will have more apparent depth and thus greater realism with less of an influence on the performance of the simulation.
