wParallax Collection

The wParallax Collection is a set of parallax texture libraries designed for architectural visualization in 3D rendering software. Using Open Shading Language (OSL) and the JIWindowbox script, these textures create realistic interior spaces using a single polygon, eliminating the need to model full room geometry. This technique, borrowed from game optimization, dramatically reduces scene complexity while maintaining visual detail for windows and interior views.

The collection includes hundreds of EXR maps organized into themed sets: Rooms (general, bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens), Offices (multiple designs with multiple floors), Retail (shops and eateries), and Lobbies. Each category provides both day and night versions at 4K and 2K resolution, along with scene setup files and wP_Box shader configurations. Additional features include a Humano People Pack with 100+ unique character cutouts to populate interior windows, customizable parallax depth, and toggleable foreground and midground layers.

The product is optimized for 3ds Max with Vray and Corona renderers, though it also supports Cinema4D, Arnold, and Octane with more limited support. All EXR files can be edited in Photoshop to swap assets or customize scenes. The bundle pack includes free sample scenes demonstrating the parallax setup in both 3ds Max and Cinema4D formats, allowing users to test the workflow before committing to larger texture libraries.
