# 2.5d Workflow

<figure><img src="/files/tVj5di0ryxXJmPoQaTJL" alt=""><figcaption><p>Graphic showing the basic concept of 2.5d. </p></figcaption></figure>

The concepts for 2.5d are very similar to Cuebric, with a little more manual work involved. See the section on Cuebric for more.&#x20;

The 2.5d concept is pretty simple, you have several 2d layers of pictures or videos as separate layers and you put them in various depths of your scene so that as you move your camera, they create a parallax effect, such that the foreground elements appear to move faster than the background elements.&#x20;

If done well, you can make 2d elements look like 3d.&#x20;

You can even combine some 3d elements with 2d elements as well, but this section will focus on 2d elements for now.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://assimilate.gitbook.io/live-fx-documentation/2.5d-workflow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
