Parallax Occlusion Mapping in Unreal 4 / Rug 

You can't make it look good if you don't have one of those road rugs.

This is probably the best tutorial i ever watched. Thank you!

Even though I might be a bit late to the party, this is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen! Thank you very much.

thanks for this video, good stuff. In case getting an error "cannot cast float3 to float4" - if you pack your height map into the alpha channel of a map, you need to append the alpha channel and the RGB channel of the Constant4Vector together before plugging into "Heightmap Channel (V4)" input.

Dang, I wish there were source files. I don't have Substance Designer. :(

Unreal starts at 12:04

Hello! Im getting a prob and this is the stats (sm6 function parallax occlusion mapping cannot cast from smaller type float3 to larger type float4) if u can help me just let me know

For f**k sake why is this so complex... Why this cant work like marmoset where i just plug in a HeightMap and its done...

@20:09 what is that red TexCoord box you added? Great tutorial, but as new user with no experience that lost me since it just appeared and wasn't explained. But great video, this helped a lot :)

I can't get the scale to appear in the materials > Edit area at 5:50

Now if only there was a tutorial to make plain ordinary carpet, since there is no free carpet materials available from the marketplace.

Fantastic tutorial thank you. A nice fluke too because I wanted to add a shag rug to my level but wasn't planning to use Parallax for it. Now I definitely will.

its amazingly real. i cant believe this is 8 years ago!!

Just watched this for a project I'm doing and this helped so much! Thank you! You explained everything very well and I have never used Substance before and I was able to walk along just fine :)

The wood grains line up on different planks on the floor. It still looks good, but that is bothering me and I can't un-see it. Great tutorial tho.

Can you make lawn grass with this technique?

Thank you very much for this tutorial !! But can you share the source files ( mask, and carpet ) . Some of us don't have substance designer so it'll be much appreciate ! Thank you again :)

To get a texture object from a sample, you can right click and "convert" (and the reverse way round too!)

You save one person's life who lives in opposite side of earth👍

5 years later and this is still of great help, Cheers!

Amazing tutorial, thanks for sharing. Would this be a viable solution to make large carpeted areas? Say like an office building, with short commercial carpeting. Or is there a better solution for that?

Thank you very much! I'm not very good at listening to English, so I'm frustrated that I couldn't take full advantage of your explanation, but this screen definitely helped me. ありがとうございます！

Using UE 4.17, still works like a charm :) Thanks!

hey bro ur amazing i subscribe u bro ur super skilled can u make tutorial about how to setup skin shader for character which looks real type plz i dnt find any tutorial about this topic

bro, very good tutorial, but i have a problem: When conect Pixel Depth ofset to Pixel Depth ofset or conect to uvs I get this error...Error [SM5] Function ParallaxOcclusionMapping: Cannot cast from float3 to float4.

hey great tutorial!! I have a problem with my POM setup at the moment which i am hoping someone here can help me out with?! ^^ My Material has a very weird shadow issue which causes it to look like it's beeing shadowed by itself... it looks fine as soon as i disable 'cast shadows' in the actor's details panel but unfortunately that's not an option as I want that object to cast shadows. Does anyone know what I am talking about or even knows a solution for this? :D I believe it should work with shadowcasting enabled so I must have done something wrong

I like that you took your time with this, but question. Those steps are only good for carpet textures, or can I repeat those steps for wall textures as well? Such as regular house walls or metal walls.

Great tutorial! Thanks!

My next favorite use of parallax mapping next to saints row's store fronts and far cry 4's fur shaders (non NVIDIA version)

Any chance you can provide the normal map for the plebians that don't have Substance? :D

Loved the looks of the material, but the lack of displacement bothers me. I believe it's related to the World Position Offset, but didn't get how to make it work.

OMG! Thank you Soooooooo Much. I was searching for anything for the new cloth and SSS materials, and came across this! Again.. WOW! OMG! It's also great to see a tutorial that has some real implications in-game. I am setting up a mid-century modern house as the playground for something, and the addition of this for creating rugs..well awesome! I don't own substance designer, so I made due with some noise and mezzotint and gaussian blurring to create the height map and xNormals for the normal and a pretty bad AO map LOL

Thank you this really helps!!!

How do you get your rug to cast shadows? When I use Pixel Depth offset the shadows are all wrong and look horrible.

this tutorial is gold. instant subscribe. 100% needed this kind of thing to take my project up a notch and always wondered if there was a good low-cost alternative to tesallation

Wow,I can,t try it for now but just by watching it,you really explain everything really well,good job and thanks a lot for that!

Thanks for taking the time to make this Patiently explained and noob friendly too

can you please provide your base files?

exellent tutorial bro, thanks a lot

Pom mapping is yes an advanced normal map, it manipulates the uvws to fake geometry.

Awesome Tutorial. Did your carpet mesh had bottom faces ?

How do I create height map without substance ?

Thank you very much for making this available. Excellent results with a very good, easy to follow explanation! this was very helpful to me.

Thank you. Does this material have much of a hit on performance?

A real POM and not the bumpoffset node... Great tutorial, smooth and easy! GG

Can you share your normal map or give a more focused view what it looks like?

Very good tutorial!. Very good tutorial !. This scene is incredible. I would love for you to do a tutorial on how to model it and how to create its respective textures. It would be a tutorial of a lot of help.

Thank you very much! Subscribed!

Thanks man, this is useful!!

you just got a new subscriber, you are a nice person to share your knowledge with us, thank u

No example material, no subscibe!

Expensive rug

Today I learnt Barry has birds, and how to make a rug

Thanks for sharing this, bookmarked and subscribed! And actually it's really good that you have taken your time to show Substance Designer workflow. Many have never used it or even heard of it, so it's really neat to see how it can be used to produce maps for UE4.

very informative! thank you very much.

amazing stuff!

Wow this the best thing ever for rugs and other floor texture/material

What an amazing tutorial and well explained, thank you very much.
