- Constraint-Based Tile Generators (BorisTheBrave)
Constraint-Based Tile Generators is BorisTheBrave's October 2021 survey unifying WaveFunctionCollapse and Model Synthesis as constraint-based tile generators that fill a grid under hard local rules.
Boris organizes variants by model (adjacency versus overlapping patches), constraint inference from samples, labels, or tile borders, solvers from arc consistency to Z3, cell and tile heuristics, contradiction handling, and non-square grids.

Archived Sun and Black Cat graphics tip #28 walks through parallax occlusion mapping with ray marching in tangent space, height texture sampling, and linear refinement between layer hits.
Shows how to build a TBN matrix, step UVs along the view ray, and compare sampled height against ray depth until intersection - patterns echoed in many Unity HLSL ports on GitHub.
Useful when you want a compact POM reference independent of engine-specific Shader Graph nodes.
