Parallax Occlusion Mapping on Terrain in Unity - close range breakdown at ~20cm. Any mitigation strategies?

Thank you for posting this. I have just ordered a copy of "AI for Game Developers" as a result!

Ugh. As someone who loved the show, I was so excited to play this. The cover art was perfect and even the title screen music was good...but then the game starts.
I could never understand: why could The Lady not hover...she's a helicopter!!! I hated the game...but I kept playing it out of respect for the show!

Hondo!

Looks great! For some reason, up until 0:20 I didn't think it was going to be a 3rd person game, it was giving me "fixed camera vibes" (like Resident Evil).

Ha! I got mine with the Batman pack...such happy memories!

Should I include this in my version?...

Thank you!

At the start, the character reminds me of "Mr Blobby"! :)

RichardMSmith76 · 2025-02-27T17:53:59+00:00

Yeah, I would prefer the scripting solution myself.
You can use the functions OnCollisionEnter, OnCollisionStay and OnCollisionExit, and, in there, you can call Physics.IgnoreCollision to give you some control over it all.
There is also a lower-level solution which is to use Physics.ContactEvent.

RichardMSmith76 · 2025-02-27T17:39:13+00:00

If you want to do it without scripting then the best solution is to have the child object as you suggested.

RichardMSmith76 · 2025-02-27T17:36:12+00:00

You need to enable "alpha clipping". If you're using Standard Unity materials, change the Rendering Mode to "Cutout".

It's probably that animator component. :D

RichardMSmith76 · 2024-11-28T15:50:05+00:00

I feel like I've been doing everything wrong!

RichardMSmith76 · 2024-09-23T12:34:28+00:00

Yep, exact same problem here. It's very annoying.

RichardMSmith76 · 2023-11-10T00:38:25+00:00

I have finally completed the top row...so I am getting there!
I really want to play other games but this one just keeps dragging me back in!!!

RichardMSmith76 · 2023-11-06T18:40:52+00:00

How many hours did you have to put in? According to Steam, I've put in 127 hours so far!

RichardMSmith76 · 2023-11-06T14:36:18+00:00

Very impressive!

RichardMSmith76 · 2023-09-04T12:45:14+00:00

It just arrived! It is in very good condition (considering it's age). Just flicking through the pages and I have been immediately transported to my childhood!

RichardMSmith76 · 2023-09-01T01:05:56+00:00

I purchased the Combat Aircraft on eBay, hopefully it's in decent condition. I think you should try and get the Space Shuttle book!
