Parallax Node：Blender 材质与纹理插件

Parallax Node

A Blender add-on that provides custom nodes for creating parallax mapping effects in shader materials. Many parallax node setups already exist, so the concept itself isn’t new. What makes this one truly different is its user-friendly design. Instead of a complex node group, this implementation is a single, special node that directly contains the Height Map texture and allows you to control the iteration count internally by adjusting the step parameter.

What is Parallax Mapping?

Parallax mapping is a technique used in 3D graphics to enhance the illusion of depth and detail on flat surfaces without adding actual geometry. It works by displacing texture coordinates based on a height map (elevation image) and the viewing angle, creating the appearance of surface relief and depth.

Features

• Custom Parallax Node: A shader node that implements parallax mapping with adjustable parameters
• Seamless Integration: Integrates directly into Blender's shader node editor
• Configurable Steps: Adjustable iteration count for quality vs performance balance
• UV Map Support: Works with custom UV layers
• Real-time Preview: Works with Cycles and EEVEE

Usage

Adding the Parallax Node

• Open the Shader Editor and create or select a material
• Press Shift + A to open the Add menu
• Navigate to Paralax Nodes > Parallax
• Connect vector output into textures inputs like this:
