Parallax series -- Rocks variety

_4wS04Dftmk

^ Parallax shader in action.

First installment of what is to be a series of textures that make use of the neglected parallax / displacement shader in Fallout NV. I strived for a balance between vanilla look and real-life Mojave. Similar to vanilla, I used layered-rock textures of desert cliffs. The various textures are distributed according to the size and shape of the cliffs to get consistent and realistic visuals.

The textures have displacement maps, which, to put it plainly, add fake 3d detail to the rocks. Though present in the game, few assets make use of this effect (i. e. bullet holes). Compared to modern implementations, the effect is subtle, but does help bring life to the low poly rock meshes.

The mod includes:

Normal rocks -- 5 textures

Black rocks -- 2 textures

Red rocks -- not included (i recommend Red on the rocks)

Frosted rocks -- 1 texture

Rock rubble & trim -- each 1 texture

Due to the nature of the mod, it will increase your VRAM usage. It comes in two flavours:

vanilla -- vanilla sized textures will set you back ≈80mb. will look fine if you play in HD or lower resolution and should not have any impact on performance

psycho (4k uncompressed) -- will increase your VRAM usage by ≈3gb. use this if you have a modern graphics card with plenty of VRAM and play at 4k resolution

The mod makes use of the excellent LOD replacement by Osu -- Wasted LOD - Cliffs of Mojave. In order to take advantage of the custom LOD textures you need to load their mod before this one and regenerate LOD using xLodGen (follow this guide).

Fixes from NVMIM and MAC-TEN have been forwarded.

I've also added a patch for Desert Landscapes, so that the rocks added by it can make use of textures in this mod.

I'm using NVR, and Neutral Weathers in the screens.
