Creating a parallax background with orthographic view.

[FarzanZand]

Hi again, I am working on creating a parallax background where different layers move in different speeds. At first, I figured I'd just use two cameras, one orthographic and one perspective but I can't get the game view to show both. It either only shows one or the other.

Checking around these forums I saw you recommend to people to check this link that shows how parallax scrolling in 2dTk can be done, but I can't access it and I get the error message "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

Can you point to the right direction so I can get the parallax background up and running? It is a 2d platformer game, and main camera is the orthographic 2dtk camera.

Best regards
Farzan

You need to set up clear flags and depth properly on the cameras. Check sample #6 (button and 3D sprites) - that example uses 2 cameras.
Get this working first before trying the parallax cameras, as it relies on you understanding how this works.

Thanks Unikron, I'll check it out right away.

The link you placed did not work though. I get this message ""The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.".
