Planar mapping

Planar mapping in the process of creating a planar map. A planar map is a method for encoding a topographical map into a single plane. A planar map subdivides the plane into vertices, edges, and faces, which undergo certain rules to ensure they cannot sink any lower into the surface of the object, than the original plane.

In this way, additional detail can be rendered on an object visually, without affecting functions such as collision detection, which rely on the object?s assumed shape.

A Closer Look At Parallax Occlusion Mapping
An in-depth Gamedev article, containing step by step coding advice for implementing parallax occlusion mapping to textures, such that the simulated heights can even self-occlude.



This book is an attempt to cross-reference the techniques of mapping and charting the physical world, with attempts to chart cyberspace. All of cyberspace, from individual virtual environments, through to the world wide web, as a single cohesive whole, a second world of many worlds, for others to explore, possessing the maps to do so.
