This should blow your mind
Added 2021-09-08 21:01:19 +0000 UTCIt did mine! I recently became a big fan of wParallax and their ability to create amazing interiors with only one plane. Check out this video to see what I mean: https://youtu.be/4MEV71JHjFw
The only issue with it is it uses OSL, which Blender supports, but only with Cycles and it's quite buggy. And their product is targeted mostly at high end Maya and 3dMax users. And of course there is ZERO realtime rendering going on.
But, we have Blender, and we have Gabe (a 17-year old wunderkid in California) Twitter: @BettiniGabe
And so I put together some notes, and asked Gabe to roll me up a Blender only parallax shader that would work with both EEVEE and Cycles. And man did he deliver. And I've got an agreement with the wParallax folks to distribute their "cross-maps" with our shader in Blender Market-- which will happen soon. Right now I'm creating a set of tutorials so anyone can easily make their own 1 face virtual room interiors! Stay tuned :-)
PS Greezybear is hard at work on some *killer* interiors for this!

Wow. Wouldnt that be a high factor of awesome!!

2021-09-09 09:26:44 +0000 UTCDear Chipp, so if it was possible to update the texture(s) as a image sequence OR use a UDIM(as Blender understands it) and use a addon like "easytexutres" that sequences a projected texture from a udim "collection", we could have animated parallax planes????

2021-09-09 08:38:20 +0000 UTCWhat I'm really hoping for is a way to do this kind of work with Blender. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw8t4a0F2mk so hopefully this is another step in that direction.

2021-09-09 00:38:39 +0000 UTCFound something like this on BA a little while ago as well https://blenderartists.org/t/parallax-interior-space-rendering-osl-for-cycles/1299195/2. I'm sure the KitOps spin on it will be super useful
