about PARALLAX
In simple words, parallax is a advancement of normalmapping,
though the depth-information doesn't get simply "drawn" on the surface, it rather warps
the texture itself in the desired direction.
You can imagine the parallax-texture as kind of radar map like the NASA ones from Venus.
The depth effect can get triangulated out of it.
It is not as sophisticated as high end Tessellation and a much older technique, but still nice :)
This mod replaces Whiterun's Gildergreen Tree with a complex parallax occlusion and HD texture overhaul, enhancing its visual detail.
