    You could sell the distance effect more by faking the tree scale with this, shrinking them more each time you movie further back. I know they already shrink by distance from camera, but the background looks like mountains far off in the distance, adjusting the tree scale would strengthen that. Such a fun effect, I love it.

      Yea seriously, this video is way more about "look at the cool shit you can do with unity" and way less of a tutorial. In fact it's really NOT a tutorial at all.
      Here's all the stuff you need to learn on your own before you can even attempt to follow this video:
      1) To get the type of control he is working with for the ground (sprite shape): blogs.unity3d.com/2018/09/20/intro-to-2d-world-building-with-sprite-shape/
      2) Then you would want to look up how to add a terrain.
      3) You need knowledge of Unity's standard asset 2d character controller package since he is using that too.
      4) Install cinemachine for the virtual camera he is using, also, learn how to use it.
      5) Ok now that you've spent 60 hours learning things you might be able to use this video for something...

    Hi there Thomas o/
    The "perfect" and effortless parallax is really awesome!!! Getting a 2D parallax to feel right demands a bunch of art and settings, maybe code if you are gonna do it yourself!
    And by the way, since you made "The Man in the Cradle", you video quality really got better, don't if it's new gear or new knowledge.

I increased the size too, but it's just not visible as a sprite, it's just there as an empty game object iykwim? Please help!! Thanks.

    Nice video bro, I have a question. Do you know how I can made a 3D character looks like a 2D character? Is exist any post-process filter or something? That's because my character animations are so complicated to make sprites, like gun aiming to multiple angles while the player is walking/running/crouching and stuff. But I want to make it looks like 2D sprites because 3D looks strange in my scene.

    How can I make the 2D mesh ‘curved’? i.e. have the 2D ground mesh snake through the 3D space and have the player sprite and camera track? A similar question would be if that isn’t possible how about a separate 2D ground mesh at a 90° right-angle (or any other angle) to the starting one, so players can choose to navigate along it? Like the Haunted Mansion level in the original Tomba on PS1? Or even Super Paper Mario on Wii, which allowed the player to switch the camera 90° on the fly wherever on the x-axis the player was in the field?

      @rr1000001 2 года назад

      A sprite-based parallax system will probably perform a bit better. Consider that here the GPU has to render a mesh with texture rather than just an image. That said, unless you really go nuts with this, I doubt the performance difference will matter much. I'd avoid putting too much detail into assets far into the distance and don't create assets that literally cannot be seen in the normal gameplay. A tiny hill behind a wall of mountains is pointless and adds to bloat.

There is already a headwear where you can insert your mobile phone and make it a VR. I mean imagine you can run when you shake your head then use both of your hands to hold a weapon or click UI, with the use of your phone camera. Is it possible Thomas?

    @rr1000001 2 года назад +1

    Interesting design. I'm wondering if this is the approach taken in Assassin's Creed Chronicles. I have two concerns:
    This technique creates a very different look and feel, which might not be compatible with the stylistic aesthetic the game is going for. For example, I think that Night in the Woods and Darkest Dungeon would be poorly served with this method. If it creates the wrong look for the game, it's the wrong technique.
    Secondly, this strategy will double down on mesh design to create the environment, which presents its own set of technical challenges absent from sprite-based parallax. The time you save in avoiding a ton of parallax will go into modeling and textures.
    This is a great idea to keep in mind when thinking about the game's look and feel, but it isn't a replacement for parallax.

    Hi i am developing a 2d games. And when i change aspect ratio from 16:9 potrate to 18:9 potrate, sprites get cut and doesn't fit correctly and vice versa. So what should i do so in every potrate aspect ratio my Sprites fit correctly in its position and doesn't go outside the camera view and also maintain the given distance between other sprite. I think we could scale all sprite according to aspect ratio. I am using canvas only for ui elements not for game assets and i dont wanna put my game assets in canvas . Anyone has any solution or script that can help.

    so in short, you can just design a 2.5 by locking the axis. Neat.
    I guessed that, but I have no idea how that locked camera was made, and how the character is on a collider as to not fall off on the Z-axis.
    I didn't need to know how the background would be designed yet, but that's neat. I guess.

    Does anyone know how to create a game like Super Paper Mario where you switch back and forth between 2D and 3D within Unity?

    In summary, this helps A LOT with the parallax effect, cool.
    I have a cuestión, how can I get the opposite effect? I mean, if normal parallax is the background moving slower than the playable character, how do I make the background to move faster than the playable character?

      That only occurs in nature when the camera is rotating to point at a target (like it's pivoting on a tripod), as opposed to tracking with the character on something like a dolly.

      @@thomasbrush So, if the character is walking in circles I can get that effect? Thanks.

    I'm making a 2d game in a 3D space and I want it to be simulationy and with zero grid... I'm thinking of 3D models for everything like just circles and then fixing the camera and just putting the 2D on top of it like a fixed perspective
