Introduction: Displacement Mapping or Vertex Displacement Mapping is a technique which allows adding details to a surface by deforming the underlying mesh. Basic Idea: Basic Idea of displacement ...

Definition: The original form of bump mapping involves using a grayscale height map to simulate bumps on a surface. The height map defines how much the surface normal should be perturbed at each point ...
