The next step we're going to do is set all the layers in the appropriate sets spaces, or the 3d spaces by moving them forwards and backwards. So, the first thing we're going to do is by selecting all the layers or press Ctrl or Command A on your keyboard, and we're going to be making them of 3d by clicking this little cube icon here. And now, they're all in 3d space. And now we're going to be moving the background backwards to separate it from all the other layers in 3d space. So, we're going to select the background layer here, press P on your keyboard to bring up the position options. And on the last, or the last number here, which is this space, we're going to be moving it back like this.
And to help you visualize what's going on here, you can click on this tab here where the active cameras and click on top. And now you're going to see a top down view of all the layers and the top, the top here, that's the background layer, and what we're doing is that were essentially moving it backwards from its original position. This is where the rest of the layers are at. So I'm pretty happy with it being here, go back to active camera. And the next thing we're going to do is to scale this background up so that it looks right so while selecting the background layer, press On your keyboard to bring up the scale controls, and make sure make sure this link icon, which will keep all the ratios across x, y and Zed the same and we're going to be dragging it up. I'm going to click fit up to 100% to help me see better and I'm going to be dragging it up.
Okay, now that the background fits the frame more or less, I'm going to be adding my camera layer. I do this by going Layer, New, and camera. Press OK. And there you have the camera sitting on top of your layers, if not drag it up all the way to the top. So to show you how the camera to works, click on the camera layer, press P on your keyboard to bring up position. And now you can just play over the controls so you can do some soon moving in, you can move it up and down like this, or you can move it left and right like this. This is what creates that parallax effect.
That's pretty cool, huh? Feel free to play around the experiments with the movements yourself.
