- 'height' -> 'depth' as the texture has 0 as minimum depth and 1 as maximum depth.
- Make the Vt used in parallax mapping point from the camera to the fragment to make the algorithm easier to understand as the ray points into the surface. Adjust the UV maths as appropriate to step forward instead of backward.
- Parallax depth -> parallax depth scale to make it clearer that this scales the parallax depth effect.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Multiplying this by vec2(1.0, -1.0) is very surprising. I understand it's to avoid the -B, but in this case I think it should be explained. I know it's necessary, but I don't understand why.
