How to Make a Parallax Background for Unity
Parallax is trivial once the layers share a palette and horizon. DesiStudio locks both.
Preset prompt
Parallax background, 3 layers (sky, mid mountains, foreground trees), 1920 wide, matched palette, seamless horizontal loop.Try it in DesiStudio →Step-by-step
- 1
Generate layered PNGs
DesiStudio outputs each parallax layer as a separate PNG with a transparent background above the horizon.
- 2
Import to Unity
Set each layer as a Sprite, place on separate Z depths.
- 3
Wire the scroller
Attach a script that translates each layer at a different speed based on the camera.
- 4
Loop the horizon
Duplicate each layer end-to-end — the seamless-loop preset guarantees no visible seam.
