> \*Originally posted by lostinbeta \* > \*\*Flawed? How so Sen? I don’t see any problems with it! > \*\* Im just nit-picky, but for a footer it kicks. anywho, the effect attained (and I assume desired) is that of depth. You have 3 depths of field… possibly 4 with the text, I cant see it now so Im not sure, and each one of these fields ease at different speeds. These speeds are what allow the foremost depths of field move faster, as they would if they were physically closer to you, and the furthermost fields slower, again, as they would if they were physically further away from you. However, your bounds are close if not similar for each one of these fields, so the distant fields continue to move even though the foremost field has lost its momentum and found the ‘resting place’ for the target movement. The closer fields get there faster and therefore stop sooner. However, in depth perception in a consistent directional gaze, the further, slower depths will not move as much as the closer fields and stop their movement at the same time as (and proportional to) the closer depths of field. So when the close grass reaches where it needs to be, the distant grass should also be where it needs to be, however it continues to scroll and you get this wierd ‘the background is sliding away’ effect. again, no big deal at all and probably no one would ever notice but me but there, I said it. Feel free to pummel me with fish. [edit] the excuse I always told myself is that not only are you moving side to side, but you are also panning as well therefore creating a rotation at the point of the closer grass allowing for distant grass to move without it needing to [/edit] ---
