Bump mapping

displacement mapping and tessellation

:drool: (We need a drool smiley)

Or is that a ridiculously hard thing to do?

A very interesting technique - Self-shadowed Bump Mapping (used in Source engine)
"Self-shadowed Bump Maps create soft shadows and ambient occlusion with both dynamic and pre-calculated radiosity lighting."
In my amateur opinion, it would be nice to see this in OpenMW.

Idk if Parallax Occlusion Mapping has been mentioned in this thread but I'd really like to see it available in OpenMw. From what I've heard it eats FPS pretty badly but used sparingly on certain objects it could add a lot of depth.

Can't wait to try out the use of normal and parallax maps though! Now I just have to get OpenMw actually running on my comp.

Ok, that is very interesting.

Blender has some really cool features involving bump mapping and true depth in its experimental branch, but I'm not sure how feasible they are to integrate at runtime.
