  • The {{{game}}} parameter is inconsistent with the name defined by the {{Strata}} template. This can most likely be fixed by setting the value of the {{{game}}} parameter to Strata Source.
    If a parameter is consistent but you're still seeing this warning, it may be an issue with the template itself. Please discuss it on the template's talk page.

Parallax Mapping

Main article:  Parallax mapping

Parallax mapping is a shading technique used to give perceived depth to brushes with this applied. In order to have this work correctly, you will need to have a Heightmap embedded in the alpha channel of your Normal map. This can be done with a program like GIMP, and a tutorial on how to do this can be found here

Additional Parameters
