Help Parallax

[Stan`]

I'm creating this topic to discuss parallax creation, and fixing for all the civs, like the persians won't don't use it at all.

So here is my workflow :

1. Open the texture in gimp2

2. Desaturate.

3. Duplicate the layer

4. Apply a 1px gaussian blur on the top layer

5. Apply a 3px gaussian blur on the bottom layer

6. Set the top layer to substraction You should get something like this :

7. Go to luminosity contrast and bring the luminosity down till you get something like this.

8. Merge the layers

9. Invert the colors

10. Apply a normal map with those settings :

11. Apply Blur

12. Set opacity to 90.

13. Done.

I don't have any wrong glitch with that which is good. But I think there is a better way.

If you are on Windows anyway, then CrazyBump is the easiest way.

Followed by InsaneBump on any operating system.

Finally I didn't know your method and it helps me a lot because I neither have a working CrazyBump nor an InsaneBump. Thanks Stan!

Enrique said it was not the good way to do it. The best way is to make a render in blender.

Crazy bump doesn't work on windows 8.1.1.

I think I downloaded Insane Bump
