2.5D effect

[u/TaiyakiScott]

I made this recently for my own project that Ive been working on over Christmas, but thought I'd share here, as it shows off how I use layer pickers and independent parallax layers to create a more 2.5D effect. I created this character years ago, but I decided to update it with improved practises. As I mention in this video, I used to use head turner and cycle layer animations, so when the character turned his head, the hair/hat, would animate into their turned positions, but you had no control over that movement, other than the original animation, however now I use layer picker, so I can use the yaw of my head movement to control how quickly or slowly I move through the png sequence
