Parallax Corrected Surface GUIs
(Module)
Anyways! I’ve created an open sourced parallax correction module to fake 3D space using UI elements like imagelabels and frames. This can be used for things such as faking the size and scale of things that would normally be in a skybox, but actually have it in 3D space without the need of a gigantic scaled model. The module has support for every UI element that works in a SurfaceGUI, including buttons.
The module WILL NOT work with rotation due to the clip descendants not working with rotation.
The images also cannot be rotated in 3D space as that would require image manipulation which currently is limited to editable image & meshes which aren’t live in-game yet, which is why I haven’t included them in this module.

Simple Setup Code
Step 1 - Import the Module
local ParallaxWindows = require(script.ParallaxWindows)
-- initiate a new ParallaxWindows using .new() constructor
local ParallaxWindow = ParallaxWindows.new()
Step 2 - Create your Frame
local part = game.Workspace.Part
local frame = ParallaxWindow:AddFrame(part,Enum.NormalId.Front) -- Create the frame object on a part's face
local originalOffset = Vector3.new(-10,0,0) -- the positional offset of the parallax
ParallaxWindow:UpdateFrameSettings(frame,{ ["PosOffset"] = originalOffset, }) -- update this specific frame's settings, overrides the default ones!
Step 3 - Running the Loop
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
-- call Step() for each parallaxwindow object to update all of its frames and guis
ParallaxWindow:Step()
end)
Final Example Code
local ParallaxWindows = require(script.ParallaxWindows)
-- initiate a new ParallaxWindows using .new() constructor
local ParallaxWindow = ParallaxWindows.new()
local part = game.Workspace.Part
local frame = ParallaxWindow:AddFrame(part,Enum.NormalId.Front) -- Create the frame object on a part's face
local originalOffset = Vector3.new(-10,0,0) -- the positional offset of the parallax
ParallaxWindow:UpdateFrameSettings(frame,{ ["PosOffset"] = originalOffset, }) -- update this specific frame's settings, overrides the default ones!
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
-- call Step() for each parallaxwindow object to update all of its frames and guis
ParallaxWindow:Step()
end)
Change Default Settings

}
And that’s all! You have my full permission to use this module in your games (credit in the description would be nice tho). I hope you can get some use out of this module. If you have any questions or feedback just send a response to this post!
FYI this is also my first module I’ve created so 
It took a lot of math
