Pseudo-3d backgrounds

[Desu_Cake]

I've got a planned fight scene taking place in a round room, and I want to make it look as though the "camera" is panning and rotating. Now, I could create a custom engine which supports full 3d backgrounds, but that's a lot of hassle just for this one little thing. So I was wondering if it was possible to create a psuedo-3d background in renpy which gives a similar effect.

Well I guess you could just create the room in 3d with a 3d program and export 2 screenshots. The Internet certainly has a lot of tutorials for 3d beginners or maybe you just find someone (e.g. on deviant art) who can do this for you.

An alternative way would be to use 2 different light effects on a 2d background, I guess.

Could you maybe utilize a parallax effect?

Separate items in the room by background, middle ground, foreground... then when panning, assign them different pan speeds so that there is an illusion of 3D? Pretty old-school but easier and cheaper to do than real 3D, and visually pleasing in its own way. If you do go this route, just keep in mind end-user's machine's processing power... Pretty sure mine wouldn't appreciate it, but mine is old and crabby about stuff like that

Doesn't it look like 3D? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/40 ... gzght.mp4/ (not explicit but not fully work for safe)
I just placed sprites on the wide BG with ATL. No special trick nor programming.

Hmm, I think I'll just do it like the one nyaatrap showed, since there aren't any objects in the room. Thanks guys!
