$parallaxmap

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

The $parallaxmap VMT parameter specifies the VTF texture to use for the 'sub-vertex modeling' or parallaxmap of the material surface.

Warning:Parallax maps are disabled in every Valve game, although since an (unfinished) shader exists named ParallaxTest, which can be used as an alternative.

Todo: mat_parallaxmap is 0 by default. Enabling it causes the game to freeze (tested for until about 1 hour) after "Sending full update to Client". Will managing to enable it make parallax maps work?

VMT Syntax

"$parallaxmap" <texture path>
"$parallaxmapscale" <float> // Scales the $parallaxmap Y value by this amount
