Parallax Occlusion Mapping | 5-Minute Materials [UE5]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- Hello! Today we're looking at the Parallax Occlusion Mapping function inside Unreal Engine (also known as POM)
This handy function can be used to create fake 3D depth in your materials. It's the older brother of BumpOffset!

Pro Tip:
If you use TAA or TSR you can annihilate the stepping effect with a Dither, you'll be able to keep your Max Steps to extremely low values while still looking good
It's way better if you use a Blue Noise Dither too instead of the stock one
The Steps can be optimized based on distance too from the camera, been suffering a lot in making this work since we're using POM on our Landscape, a lot of Optimizations and little tricks, especially in blending the different layers
If you use PDO I'd suggest turning off Contact Shadows too, those are the ones that most of the times make it look all glitchy and stuff
Wanted to share pictures of the setup but YT doesn't seem to like imgur links and removed my comments 2 times already
So if anyone is interested in any of this, can maybe share the raw code
Bangin’ advice. I’ve used dithering with BumpOffset before to get a sort of ‘blurred vertical lines’ effect for an Ice shader before but didn’t think of using it in POM.
That’s a good point about the distance optimisation - since the Custom node is actually doing loops based on the step amount input, changing it at runtime/based on a gradient would actually make it execute less code, unlike ‘hiding’ something with a Lerp.
This sounds really really cool, could you perhaps upload it as a video on YT?
@@IstyManame I can surely make one, but out of respect for Prismatica will only post the link if he's fine with it :)
@@IstyManame Just posted a video followup, production value is 0 tho, not very good at this and recorded all at 5-6 AM, probs set the video a 1.25x speed for sanity sake :p
Making it came to mind this too: If you use POM you wanna make sure to use a lower resolution Texture for the Displacement since the resolution influences the amount of Samples, and you want to filter it Bi-Linearly instead of Anisotropically, this is one of the biggest performance improvements with it
Some other fixes regarding velocity too included in it to make it all work
5-Minute Materials is back, thanks! I learn a lot about materials from your videos
Потрясающий урок дающий новый уровень восприятия обычных вещей ❤
I love your videos. I have learned so much.
Your guides are always just packed with valuable info and tips thanks
Great Video.. Thank you
great video
Luv u Prizzyyyy
goated node (joe many)
Be merciful and make more tutorials
this video is so good, how would you think going around using parallax for a cubemap of a room inside a window for example? btw the bump way of doing it I really appreciate that you discuss it because I might use it in VR eventually as it is quite cheap
Parallax for cubemap? Dont break my brain pls.
Oh Lordy that’s a spicy one haha. I know they do some parallaxing Cubemaps in GTA or Spider-Man or something, there might be some explanations on UA-cam already but maybe not specifically for UE5
@@PrismaticaDev They do with spiderman, already
There is a built-in material function for fake interior rooms if I remember correctly. Also there are UA-cam tutorials, maybe for UE4, but it doesn't matter in this case.
5/5 yeets
New 5MM let's go!!
Currently working on an RTS game (top down camera with a 40-60% angle like Prismatica plugin demo)-
1) will POM fit great here? since the camera never going to a shallow angle near the floor this type of effect will probably never break
2) POM vs WPO- which one is better for performance?
For a top down, BumpOffset might be enough. But POM with a low step count could also be fine.
WPO would require a very dense mesh to get the same effect, but with Nanite tessellation it would be doable. I’d say the order of performance would be BumpOffset - WPO - POM
How do i get the same background for the material view as you have ?
With max steps set 128 for example, would it be less expensive than the Nanite tessellation?
Which is more performant? This or Nanite displacement?
how does it compare to build in displacement?
I’ll have to look specifically, but I believe Nanite displacement would be cheaper in most cases (?)
Damagemask tutorial when?
Thanks a lot Prismatica for the video, very helpful! Just a question : is it possible to create a vertex paint material with the parallax occlusion combined?

@@Skyflairl2p oh thanks a lot man!
Sure is! I forgot to film some b-roll footage of it unfortunately. I’ll mention it in the Parallax Decals video I’m editing as a comparison which should be posted on Tuesday :)
He Mentions someone called "ace roller" for POM explanation, does anyone have a link to that channel?
Look up acerola
Yeah I’m pretty sure I remember a video about it, or maybe I’m tripping. Plenty of resources on YT explaining it either way :)
acerola shell texturing
motion matching eats, voxel eats, niagara eats, lumen eats, Ai eats, high res texture eats, 3d models eats and now this. i get the feeling that UE is just for yt videos :D
edit: dont forget particles, shader and a project above tutorial hell
Nah, you just have to choose what better fits in your project, if you want to use all of it, then of course it will be expensive, it is high-end technology.
Your doing it wrong then. Also it's not 2005 look at how powerful actual modern systems are
The best way to get the highest FPS possible is to delete absolutely everything from your scene. This goes for any engine or 3D program
@@PrismaticaDevlove that 😂
Yeah... I kind of feel like these techniques will all be replaced by Nanite in the not so distant future.
