ParallaxTest is an unfinished shader since 
(although not available in SDK 2013) which draws parallax mapping on an albedo.
Alternative to the disabled $parallaxmap shader parameter.
Accepts only a $basetexture, of which the alpha channel is used as the heightmap.

Successful implementation, by placing a surface using Modulate shader, to fake lightmaps ontop of the otherwise fullbright parallax mapped texture. Click to see animated preview.
Bug: The material will always be drawn unlit.
Note:There's a workaround for this bug, as lightmaps can be faked with Modulate shader
To do: Document/test more of this shader!
