High Level Shading Language (HLSL) is a programming language that can be used to program modern graphics cards, supports the shader construction with C-like syntax, types, expressions, statements, and functions. UE4 material editor is a good tool to create shaders but sometimes it becomes a bit “tangled”.

With this tutorial we are going to create a 2D parallax scrolling background using Unreal engine 4 materials.

This is a continuation of the previous tutorial Transition effects using materials (part 1) I will show you how to make more screen transitions, this time we will try to replicate some of the transitions used in Pokemon games.
