Visual Shader Relief Parallax Mapping Node - Godot 4.5+

Relief Parallax Mapping: Steep Parallax Mapping with binary search provides highly detailed results simulating real depth without the need for additional geometry.

Offset Limiting: Sets a drawing limit to UV coordinates.

Pixel Depth Offset: Dynamic interactions between objects and simulated depth.

Self Shadows: Dynamically generates self-shadows from the offset surface.
