Relief mapping (computer graphics)

In computer graphics, relief mapping is a texture mapping technique used to render the surface details of three dimensional objects accurately and efficiently.^[1] It can produce accurate depictions of self-occlusion, self-shadowing, and parallax.^[2] It is a form of short-distance raytrace done on a pixel shader.^{[citation needed]}
