Parallax scrolling ?

Post by Lostmymarbles »

I have a scene scrolling left to right, with foreground and multiple background - however I cannot make it look 'alive' without parallax scrolling - I have tried moving say the background at a faster rate than the foreground but this just looks races by.
How do I acheive this wonder ?

You move the layers along the 'z' based on their position - i.e. the furthest layer gets the most z-depth etc. Then you pan the camera and it should give you parallax.

1. enable 3D camera (project prefs)
2. select layer translate tool (1), give layers different Z values (for a start, 0, -1, -2)
3. select camera tool (4) and move around
