You made this tutorial on the same day I need to add 2 Cinemachine cameras to do exactly what you showed in the tute! Fab!

[@andrew.r.lukasik]

Did you noticed that there is also ZERO tutorials about programming Cinemachine?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Yeah it's very designer focused. It took me a while to figure out how to modify the stats through code so maybe I'll cover that in a video.

[@aarondelgado3421]

You can use cinemachine and trigger areas in which you use code to activate a specific cinemachine object when the player enters the trigger zone. That's one example of how you can use code for a cinemachine.

why cinemachine doesn't work with Camera.main.pixelWidth? how can I fix it?

[@NikhilMahirrao]

Can we use it with an orthographic camera to achieve an effect like the "Tiny Room" game?

[@watercat1248]

this priority value is the reason i don't like Cinemachine because the mest up with all the camera's i have in my game instead to stay in whatever camera i wand to. I do not know why but with Cinemachine it very likely to mest up my cameras and those values are very confusing to my. the main reason i don't like Cinemachine it's exactly the reason you have said the have one camera activity at it time my game have the option to play split scenes that mean more the one camera that needs to be active. and don't wand the camera's to mest up and become active wean i don't want.

[@troyna77]

does anyone know the codemonkey course that deals with the missing "PostProcessingVolume" script ? The unitypackage is playable BUT the player is just pink(Character>Body>Player outline(MArterial) > Legacy Shader "Pink Ball"). How do I convert the Texture -> (SwordTwoHAndedBack) to URP so I can see His player ?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Post processing in URP uses the Volume component and not the PP package unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=vmwdKK-GZDc Also textures don't require any conversion, only the shaders used by the material. The converter tool should fix every non-custom shader docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@12.0/manual/features/rp-converter.html

Is it just the camera or your whole game is slow? Sounds weird that cienmachine would be what is slowing it down. Check the logs to see if you have any errors in the build kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKXEamCEaNCpj9U

What can't you do? You just need to install the package, that's it

Make sure at the top of the Package Manager that you have "Packages: Unity Registry" selected instead of the default "Packages: In Project". Cinemachine should show up then.

This is ridiculous, we dont have 1 single tutrial on web about change between cameras (using cinemachine and a simple key')...nothing, ZERO...

You just change the priority, that's it. It will smoothly interpolate all the values when another camera has a higher priority

Hello ! I know this video is old, but I got a problem with cinemachine... I set the virtual camera, assign the player in Follow and Look At just as you did, but in play mode when I move my player the camera rotate and spin around the player, keeping him at the center. Plss help me !

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Look at the camera options, I don't remember the exact option but you want it set to Absolute position and not relative so that when it applies the offset 0,0,-10 it is always applying that offset in world space and not local space based on player rotation And make sure the virtual camera is not a child of the player

[@sabythenoob]

this Character controller looks awesome... I tried to create in 3d but light unable to cast shadows

[@radiagulzan]

There are no tutorials on how to use the state driven camera for 2D anywhere online :( I tried to use it but it doesn't change the perspectives depending on the animations as it should, which is the whole point

[@Dritix]

Nice video!

[@suvsundrawingdiy1045]

You know what! You can just make the camera the child of the player. It works just perfectly and conserves more time

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Hmm sure, making a first person camera is just one of the many possible use cases of Cinemachine. If that's all you want then sure I guess you don't need cinemachine at all.

[@headrushgaming2614]

is there a way to also move the camera slightly by moving the mouse? sort of like a micro pan across ? my best explanation of the thing i am looking for is the way little nightmares camera works

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

You would just need some basic logic taking the mouse world position, checking the distance from the center of the screen and moving the object that the virtual camera is following towards that direction by some fraction of that distance.

[@rhapen]

it does not make any sense to me but somehow the Lerp was counting up instead of down. so i switched the startingintensity with 0... but seriously it does not make sense.. but for some reason it works cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_AmplitudeGain = Mathf.Lerp(0f, startingIntensity, shakeTimer/shakeTimerTotal);

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

If you are decreasing the third argument it will "count down", add a Debug.Log to see what the math is doing

[@justinwhite2725]

Hey have you yet (or will you soon) do a video on how you got that lighting to work on the sprite-in-3D world? I’ve been going for a xenogearsv(and other mid ps1 era games) look, but always run into hiccougs with the lighting.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

I got it to work by using a Spotlight and Directional Light set to Realtime. If it's baked it can work with Light Probes. I did have tons of issues with lighting when making a mini-game that uses the mixed 3D and 2D world, so it's definitely not an area I'm very experienced in since up until now pretty much all of my work has been done in 2D.

[@RawHunterX]

Anyone has found a fix for when the Players velocity gets too high and the camera has problems catching up with the Player?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

What problems does it have? It should catch up immediately if the player goes into the red area.

[@RawHunterX]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity In my experience, it happens when the Player jumps of cliffs for example and theres a long distance until it touches the ground. In that timeframe, the Y velocity of the player keeps increasing negatively that the camera eventually lags behind until the Player stops. Im thinking maybe the Gravity might be a factor. I am also implementing a WallJump ability and if I set the power too high, when the Player jumps off the Wall, it will be pushed in the opposite direction at a high speed that the camera again will have issues following the Player. I will play along more with the properties of the Camera. I am using a smooth damping atm, but that seems to be the issue when at higher speeds. I think that when there was no smoth damping, the camera was locked to the player. I havent got to that point yet, but Im thinking I might need smooth damping to make a Parallax Scorlling effect in the background.
