Description

Overview

The 2D Parallax Manager is a Unity tool designed to create dynamic parallax scrolling effects in a 2D environment with a perspective camera setup. It manages the movement of background layers at varying speeds relative to the camera's motion, giving a sense of depth and immersion. The manager allows developers to easily configure multiple layers, adjusting their parallax intensity, speed, and direction. It's optimized for both horizontal and vertical scrolling, ensuring smooth performance and seamless integration into 2D games. This system is essential for creating visually rich scenes with realistic depth perception.

  • Customizable Parallax Speed: Adjust the speed of each layer independently to create depth and varying motion.
  • Horizontal and Vertical Scrolling: Supports both X and Y axis movement for dynamic parallax effects in any direction.
  • Orthographic Camera Compatibility: Works seamlessly with orthographic cameras for different 2D setups.
  • Cinemachine Integration: Fully compatible with Unity’s Cinemachine, allowing advanced camera control with parallax effects.
