If you have any mod you would like to have parallax textures for, and you do not want to run the pipeline on your own, you can add a request in the forum below.
Since publishing derivative work (parallax textures are based on the normal textures) is a modification of the original mod, a permission from an author is required first. Some authors do not reply, and some outright say no (example: Skyking)
You could argue that parallax maps are not original assets (and this was my initial understanding too), but I decided to go with more strict interpretation of licensing terms.
In those cases, your only option is to run the pipeline yourself or wait for the author to provide parallax.
Todo
Make a generic tool more usable so anyone *) could create parallax maps
*) With fast enough computer or a lot of time
AI upscaled textures issues:
The AI may be up scaling the textures themselves nicely, and normal map may seem okay when used as normal map, but AI upscalers dont do a good job there:
Here is an example
Those "spikes" are hallucinations of an AI upscaler model used in Project AIO. It cannot be helped by this project.
For example, there is a parallax mod for the vanilla-base by Devikyn (Ent) called Vanilla Complex Parallax, and it has almost no distortion and a much more impressive 3D effect.
But as far as I know this mod has some problems + maybe not everything is finished. So it would be good to have an ultimate mod for everything in one.
My mod just re-uses normal data (which should in theory contain geometry) to recalculate parallax maps.
The other mod has, as far as I saw, manually created maps. That makes a world of difference but it is much more tedious process.
For now, you can mix both, for example use mine as baseline for anything that is not done better, and use other authors mods if you find they work well. There is nothing wrong with that!
If i use Vanilla Remastered (Optimized), can i use the parallax Vanilla remastered (Ultimate) files with it ? (I'm using ENB)
hi ApricotCroissant any plan to release texture for Vanilla Remastered Optimized version ?
I'll still publish it but you might be better off using Vanilla parallax textures with them...
Left Optimized - Right Ultimate.
Peltapalooza Parallax does nothing. Does not work. Also tried loading it last in my texture group.
Rugnarok also not everything seems to get parallaxed. The smaller ones seems to work, but on the bigger ones not the whole cloth. Have this loaded before Peltapalooza So basically last in texture group.
Also when i use the pg patcher, do you suggest to check the checkbox 'change parallax to complex' ? Because now i just checked parallax and complex checkboxes.
Im also using tomato complex mods and removed CleverCharff textures. But im still seeing some warped textures on some walls even though i have nothing overwritting those mods. But i think i should ask tomato about that.
anyway thanks for everything !
I do not need autoparallax anymore, this is fully fixed by Upgrade Parallax to Complex
I've also added those meshes for exclusion:
"*\\actors\\horse\\character assets\\horse*.nif",
"*\\actors\\character\\Character Assets\\1stperson*",
"*\\actors\\manekin\\*",
"*\\furniture\\flourcraftstation.nif"
They are for my setup which includes LOTD, you might not need to do it, test it out if your horses look blue, your vr werewolf crashes your game or you get half transparent mannekins in the dragonborn museum. I do not remember why I added that last one though :) Probably there was crashes with older versions of pg-patcher, might be not needed anymore.
Unfortunately, I am receiving errors "Failed to create height map for...." and am unable to do this on my own.
I've also published textures for https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/47994, look for Parallax Textures - Bards Reborn Student of Song and their 4k addon if you want. I use it myself on all my runs and I cant imagine game without this mod anymore :)
If you had some time, Could you update LOTD parallax textures patch? because lotd is updated (6.10.0)

Processing complete.
dependencies are all installed
I don't know what to do, and I'm not very familiar with python etc.
python generate_parallax_textures.py --use_cpu
Try that, and see if it helps. It will be crawling with speed but should work without NVIDIA graphics card.
I've also updated the pipeline to 4.4.0 version, which disables the comparison of textures with normal by default, it is very rarely used. Please try this one in both CPU and GPU mode.
I have a cuda capable gpu
There seems to be a problem with cupy. I tried a bunch of things but none of them seems to work for me :(
I test your Suggestions when i come backbfrom work.
Thank you!
And i try it with miniforge and anaconda but I'm probably embarrassing myself, but as I said, I don't know much about python xD
If i check if everything of the dependencies is installed correctly it does show me
I also tried various commands to force install cuda and cupy, and the system variables are set
We can also move the conversation to dm or discord if you want to keep the comment section free
Again thank you
But, just one simple question: Did you install NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit with the version corresponding to your cupy? (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit)
As a request, would you be willing to generate a version of the base-game textures using Cleaned Skyrim SE Textures?
Also, would you be willing to look at what could be done for, Turn of the Seasons, Shrubs of Snow, Seasonal Alchemy, and Seasonal Landscape Additions so that these nice vanilla+ type seasonal mods could have parallax textures?
Also-also, question: since you have parallax textures here for Detailed Rugs and Rugnarok, do you think JS Rumpled Rugs should work via ParallaxGen?
This is a decent chunk of things to request, but thank you for your consideration and insight you may provide.
