# think it was maiden, but can't see it on her website now
I'm sure googling 'scrolling background tutorial' will bring up something

# I recall her website died some time last year
and she has had to rebuild it. So perhaps the tutorial was lost then.

# Yes I did that tutorial it was lost when my host decided to delete all my files
the principle is:

Create a tile: Take a picture of a road side cut it in half and move the left half to the right edge of the screen and the right half to the left edge of the screen and the split in the middle where it doesn't meet up will need to be fixed using the clone/healing brush so that it looks seamless.

Duplicate tile: then duplicate this now tiled image and put them side by side so that when it's scrolled as the tile of one edge leaves the screen the opposite edge of the next tile follows it.

Hey presto seamless scroll

# Yes, thank you
I need to reconstruct this page also update some things which I should have done previously.

Just realised that's the perspective scroll tutorial not the scrolling background.

# the way i do it is to
1. get a picture/ or draw it.
2. duplicate the image and mirror it
3. overlap it a wee bit in the middle and then try to blend them
4. now the start of the image should loop when it meets the end

hard to explain easy to do

# depends what software you're using
in 3d simply stick a tiling texture of houses on to block, angle the block to suit and then slide the UVs/mapping coordinates.
In Photoshop and similar, create the same texture but use the perspective tool and slide the texture down it in much the same way as the 3d one.

this is the tutorial although some of the images are missing so you'll have to guess there
