POM material

Yea doing multiple times will probably be very expensive. I am curious to hear your results.

If you are using a noise texture that will further compound the expense of doing since you add yet another level of dependent texture reads to the parallax loop. You could avoid that by trying to use some pseudo random numbers (aka take large prime numbers and multiple/divide/add stuff with fracs here and there to get pseudo random numbers, lots of neat ideas to google).

Yeah I’ve done some similar simple hashing bits of code before so I might look at that.

The great thing about is that on the landscape, it uses the cascading shadow map and with the pixel depth offset the character shadows into the POM correctly.

The actual bombing material itself is working nicely. If I overlay one layer of bombing (i actually prefer the term splat) over the original tiled texture, it hides the original seams nicely. These images are without POM but you get the idea…
