*NOTE: Parallax maps and glow maps are mutually exclusive. They cannot function together, and will cause flickering and other material coloring errors when the game engine attempts to render the mesh. This will occur even if emissive color is set all the way to black; if a glow map is present with parallax shading enabled on a mesh, errors will occur. Try to detatch all portions of the mesh that must have glowing, and refer them to a separate texture group (preferably smaller in pixel dimensions to reduce video ram load). | *NOTE: Parallax maps and glow maps are mutually exclusive.

A parallax shader implements parallax mapping on the particular texture.
