I'm confused

Is there or is there not a built in parallax shader in the OB source engine right now? If so, did Valve use it anywhere?

The old parallax code has probably rotted right out. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if Valve completely removed it.

Seems like parallax is something valve hasn't shown much interest in pursuing. The self shadowing bump maps are imho better than standard parallax mapping.

Is this only in L4D right now though?

It's an orange box feature. EP2, Portal, TF2, L4D, all make use of them.

Occluding parallax is the way to do.

The SS maps are a pain in the ass to make.
