[DEMO] Advanced dynamic parallax (X&Y)

Here is a quick demo of a very simple and efficient 3D parallax effect.
Very useful for people who want to achieve a parallax effect with both the X & Y (for example you run and jump and see depth on both axis). Tomorrow I will upload a template so you can actually move the camera around manually, or connect it to a "hero". It is very easy to create and implement in an existing project, because its not based on position, but velocity.

[edit 1] you can change the camera speed etc. in the the unlocked camera actor in the scene

[edit 2] V2 is done with simple player controls, and a smooth following camera. The video might be a bit choppy because of the screen recording. Trust me, it's smooth;)

Cheers

    Thanks @RThurman !

    Check out the V2 attached in this post. It has controls now, and smooth camera follow like most of the high polished games out there.

    here is another sample where you can drag by touching the screen, much like a UI. very minimal though but it works pretty darn good:)
