I have to say I really enjoy the concept tidbits you throw in all over your videos. I'm a Java dev by trade but am just starting game dev as a hobby. The "concept space" stuff is really helpful for me to see what is possible.

Best video for that topic! Thank you very much. This a well made video and explanation for this effet and the code is as short and smart as it needs to be!

I watched around 10 videos on this but only you explained it better with easy-to-follow working solution. I needed the same system for a vertical game, I tweaked your code easily because you explained it well. Thak you very much!

Thanks Dani a great tutorial, been looking at other parallax scrolling tutorials and yours explains it much better than the rest. I now have a decent background moving many thanks. onto the character controller now.

Thanks for the informative lesson! Very helpful and easy to understand!

[eneseren]

Best parallax tutorial i've ever seen! Thank you mate.

[WizeLoL]

I gotta say, Thanks a ton for these videos!
I really appreciate you spending the time to sit down and help explain these things out in a simple to understand way.
It is really getting me back into my game design work again after a long break. (I'm more of an artist/musician than a programmer, so I need really need the explanations)
So again, Thanks a ton! I hope you keep it up. I would like to learn a lot more from you! ^_^

I ended up copying/changing this for both Y and X positions, and making to i can control each separately.
I'm not sure if what i ended up creating is any good in terms of clean code. but it looks good when the camera scrolls up/down.

BTW, the backgrounds seem to be a little bit jerky when the parallax effect happens (for both x or y position), is there a way to mack it smoother?.

Small help: 1: first place the copied layers, then place them. 2. placing them seamless, is easier if you use 'v' and take the lower corner and snap them to the other one.

I don't know what to say! Thank you so much for making this series, you are a genius good sir 🥳😃❤! Also the amount of videos you have been putting out lately, make sure you don't forget to sleep haha😎👍

Glad I found you, keep inspiring dude!

Bro you are awesome with explaining ! ! !

You deserve a subscriber button shoot Nice video

[Giedzilla]

I wonder is there a way to use perspective camera mode without having to scale the background up or making really huge assets?

[bwolf]

Awesome video! Its a big help. I do have one issue. I made different backgrounds for each layer for variety and they are stacking on top of each other when they spawn in. How do I fix that from happening? Any help is appreciated.

[chadfatlyf]

Thanks for the video!
Everything is working perfectly as it should be, but background layers movement is visible in-game (I mean that background layers suddenly snaps forward). Any help?

[ProbablyStraight]

I tried following this but when i go to the left they disappear one by one

[stealthyshiroean]

So, is there any way for you to explain the float temp variable? Like in even simpler terms. I understand what the code is there for when it gets compared to the startPos + length, but I don't understand why it's 1 - parallaxEffect. I know you said it gets us the position of the object at the given point in time....but I guess I don't understand how that is. I think this is more of me not getting the math behind it? I've been wrapping my head around this for a while now but it's just not clicking. I mean, the code works fine in my project, but I want to make sure that I understand every line.

[michelcastilho]

The parallax movement gets really choppy at higher speeds, how can I fix that?

[mkshadowzx]

I'm using a confiner for cinemachine and when it reaches the end of that confiner in the x-axis the parallax effect still goes when the player moves even though the camera itself isn't moving. Is there a way to stop that effect from happening?

[Jubez]

can you do a parallax effect without the camera moving?
