Question by Mr_Me · May 09, 2011 at 12:56 PM · shaderheightmapextrusion

Normal Extrusion with Vertex Modifier shader using a depthmap

I have a question about the Normal Extrusion with Vertex Modifier shader from unity's Surface Shader Examples.

Is it posible to use this shader but make the height of the vertices be based on a heightmap? and if so, how would this be done?!?

Shader "Example/Normal Extrusion" {
Properties {
  _MainTex ("Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
  _Amount ("Extrusion Amount", Range(-1,1)) = 0.5
}
SubShader {
  Tags { "RenderType" = "Opaque" }
  CGPROGRAM
  #pragma surface surf Lambert vertex:vert
  struct Input {
      float2 uv_MainTex;
  };
  float _Amount;
  void vert (inout appdata_full v) {
      v.vertex.xyz += v.normal * _Amount;
  }
  sampler2D _MainTex;
  void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) {
      o.Albedo = tex2D (_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex).rgb;
  }
  ENDCG
} 
Fallback "Diffuse"

}

Try this:

     void vert (inout appdata_full v) {
         #if !defined(SHADER_API_OPENGL)
         float4 tex = tex2Dlod(_HeightMap, float4(v.texcoord.xy,0,0));
         v.vertex.z += tex.b;
         #endif
     }

It might not be the best option, but it worked for me.
