per pixel displacement mapping with distance functions Hi everyone, I'm trying to implement the displacement mapping technique by William Donnelly from GPU Gems 2: Chapter 8 for a project. I'm working in XNA/MonoGame and using HLSL for my shaders. The problem I'm having is how to create the distance map and I'm not really understanding how I would go in creating it. I know that Nvidia has released the code for that chapter but the files are in c++ and I'm not familiar with c++ so its been throwing me off on how to recreate it in c#. Any explanation on how I should go about in creating the distance map would be extremely helpful. Thanks for any help or suggestions. https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
