skyrim uses parallax sometimes but what i'm talking about is when they dont bother to do that and just use a uniform texture. those pics aren't really me going "wow this is the perfect example" it's more me being surprised by how much they're getting out of a texture. anything that's on the ground in skyrim is manually placed, and the roads look like they're just painted on textures. the engine cannot handle parallaxing that's not on walls  stuff like the platform on the right and the arrow slits in guard walls are good examples of them not able to do anything but put in a flat texture without breaking stuff  this is also an example of Bad skyrim does a lot to try to get around how many limitations their engine has though and i have to give them some respect for managing to get so much out of an engine that can barely handle the concept of multiple cores Oblivion doesn't even have anything like parallax, the most it gets is primitive bump mapping like i think doom 3 has edit:  this is it being used in skyrim and i feel like it's gaining definition but losing quality, and everything looks darker because it's having to run so many more shadows which is probably also bogging the framerate down i don't remember if this wall is a flat texture or not i am spending too much time thinking about graphics effects + technology tricks Doctor Goat fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Feb 10, 2015 |

yeah, you're right, actually. there's a de-parallaxer mod for oblivion both it and skyrim can use them some and there's an ENB that fixes the limitation on ground textures

red faction has cool technology. the way the red faction 1 explosions work is by creating negative objects if there's a trash can ingame it's actually a trash can with a big rectangle embedded in it, and the game is set to make the big rectangle something objects can travel through that's invisible as I understand it. shooting a rocket at something is just making big squares of that material
