Parallax camera mapping effect in Unity 3D

A quick look at parallax camera mapping in Unity 3D. We use a simple script as well as object parenting and an orthographic camera to create a sense of depth and movement to the environments. This gives a flat 2D level background and foreground movement based on our camera position. You can find the text for the script down below. If you find this helpful Like Sub and Share!!!
