Space Backgrounds Free - Parallax Sampler

3 parallax space scenes, six layers each, free, for any engine. Deep space, two star fields, a drifting nebula, a planet and an asteroid field, every layer a 1920x1080 PNG that tiles seamlessly both ways. Plus 4 rotating planets, 2 tumbling asteroids and a nebula loop. Everything in three sets: 1080 and 540 HD, and pixel art drawn at its size, not shrunk.

Space Backgrounds has 18 scenes (a spiral galaxy, a comet, a wormhole, a supernova remnant, an aurora, an alien world under a ringed giant, a galactic core with a black hole and more), 20 rotating planets, 8 asteroids, 6 nebula loops, and the planet shader live in Godot to draw any of them at any size. Same layers, same player.

What's inside

• Deep blue with a cratered moon, frozen over a tundra world, and the void, each six layers that scroll at their own rates.
• 4 rotating planets: terran with city lights, a moon, a gas giant and an ice world; 2 asteroids, rock and ice; a nebula loop in deep blue.
• Godot 4 player included: SpaceBackground.add(self, "deep_blue") puts it behind your scene and follows your Camera2D both ways. Import steps for Unity and GameMaker in the README.

Compatibility

• Any engine that draws a repeating texture or a sprite sheet: Unity, GameMaker, Godot, Defold, Construct, Phaser, LÖVE, MonoGame.
• The Godot player: Godot 4.3 to 4.7, tested on both ends and on every renderer.
