Parallax Background

The built-in parallax system works fine for 1 or 2 backgrounds, but when you try doing anything serious with it, it feels incomplete and painful to use.

I needed to have multiple backgrounds, each with its own scrolling rate. So I had to make like a hundred layers and fiddle with their properties. No way, that’s way too tedious!

I needed my backgrounds to stretch across the screen, to look good no matter the zoom level, to be animated. But as soon as I changed anything in my layout, everything went bonkers!

I needed more control over my backgrounds. And I believe you do too.

This addon will help you painlessly add layered, parallax-scrolling backgrounds without wasting a gazillion hours in the editor.
