Easy Parallax v1.0.0

The Easy Parallax Addon for Blender converts your existing materials into Parallax Occlusion Mapping shaders with a single click, enabling real-time depth and displacement effects on minimal geometry. Instead of requiring dense polygon counts, the addon generates realistic surface detail using your existing texture maps—Normal, Albedo, Displacement, and Roughness—applied through a straightforward shader setup. This approach is lightweight and performance-optimized, making it ideal for large scenes and real-time applications.

The addon workflow is designed for simplicity: load your texture maps into the panel, apply the Parallax Occlusion Mapping shader, and adjust the Parallax Strength slider to control the intensity of displacement effects. Additional features include automatic texture map detection, manual height map selection, and customizable extension types for texture boundary handling. The result is realistic surface depth and detail without the geometric complexity of traditional displacement methods.

Easy Parallax works seamlessly with your current material setup, allowing you to enhance flat textures into detailed surfaces quickly. It is particularly well-suited for low-poly workflows, performance-intensive scenes, and projects requiring real-time rendering in game engines or Blender’s viewport. The addon’s lightweight nature means you can add sophisticated depth effects without compromising scene performance or requiring complex node setups.
