Godot Version v4.6.2.stable.official [71f334935] hi im trying to create a hollow knight style 2D game. I hate programming/ coding and so iv tried to skim past that I’ve greyboxed part of my game, and im starting on art. I want to do parallax, and obviously the easiest way is with 2D parallax layer…

[image] Dimbleby_Dimbat: I am using a reference rect as a Camera Limit (iv written a script in godot and made a group for camera limits) so the camera stops following the knight at a room edge and the background stops ‘scrolling’ Ok, then you do not want to use a Parallax Background, because …

ok - do you know if theres a way to render 3D things onto a 2D plane?

Yes, with a SubViewport and a camera afaik

ok - I tried to do this for ages but i couldnt get it to work well - i couldnt find any videos of anyone else who tried to use this method for backgrounds

Every time I tried i eeither couldnt see the subviewport or when I could it was in the wrong place/ wrong scale or was incredibly blurry for no reason

Sorry if my posting has been unclear - again I am a beginner and do not fully understand godot. I want to render PNGs in the form of 3D sprites on a 2D layer in a 2D game that uses a 2D camera. I am struggling to use viewports. My backgrounds will need to ‘scroll’ as they are more than one viewpor…

I really think you should use Parallax2D; if you want the same pixel density for background images you will have to do the math for it. A long room that’s 1920 * 4 wide will require a 1920 * 4 long image, with a scroll scale of 0.5 it’s background will require 1920 * 2 pixels. 3D does not reduce or …

ok - thx for the help - I probably will. Is there a way to avoid having to paint at differnet sizes for parallax scrolling without using a repeating texture and having ‘waste pixels’?
