Hi What resolution of rink you had? My rink is cropping on top and bottom My resolution is 1242x2208 (WxH)

@Axel Aldo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@tikebkaatar]

Thank you, this is the first video that actually addresses the problem and most scenarios to do with aspect ratio

[@willh69]

I'm pretty new to C# coding, super grateful that we have resources like this for free on the internet. It all seems so complicated but when you break it down logically like this it all makes sense Thanks Press Start

[@christianschuster4171]

Fantastic! This is the best explanation I’ve seen so far. The examples help a lot. Thank you for putting in the effort!

That was by far the most efficient way to solve my problem with my first game. That was the last part i was missing, thank you so much.

Wow. This is the first video that actually explains this problem really well. I've been searching for an hour trying to solve this issue.

Thank you so much! You have no idea how long I've been looking for something like this! Even though this video is 4 years old at this point, it helped me a ton!

[@jakubneska1694]

Thanks a lot! I struggled for a while trying to find something explaining how orthographic size relates to objects positioning! And your video explained everything perfectly! Couldn't do minimap for my game without it!

Absolutely amazing. I have spent HOURS trying to figure this out. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@Ghatos]

My god, THANK YOU! I've been trying to code something simillar and your video made me realise why Screen.width / Screen.height was giving me back the wrong values, I had to write it like this: *(float)* Screen.width / *(float)* Screen.height Thank you a lot for this video, that issue was driving me nuts.

[@pedroduran8927]

I have to thank you very much for this simple and effective solution! it worked great for me for my board game with both Phone and Tablet support!

I was very confused why this worked for everyone but me. Guess what... my script was not check marked so it was disabled all the time xD. Great video, i have a phone with a weird resolution so i needed this to be able to play my own game lmao

Hello, good tutorial but what if you are not using spriteRenderer but instead the game object? i created a plane out of the game object and i want to fit the camera to the game object x and y axis. I tried modifying your code where instead of the sprite renderer, i used the transform of the plane where it calculates the x axis and the z axis but still does not work. Do you have any idea for this?

[@zeebigz2498]

how do you fit both width and height of the playground edge to the screen size at same time. you have shown weight and height edge fit on screen edge . but how to you do at same time???

[@pressstart6864]

Unfortunately that's not how screen's work. It would be impossible to factor in all screen aspect ratios to have a screen fit both height and width of an object. You could instead alter your object to fit the width and height of the screen, but that's a whole different video.

[@sudarshan4433]

Very helpful. can we use same with canvas? i have problem when screen resolution changes my sprite images which are not part of canvas are get cut off.

[@random_precision_software]

I'm looking for how to have different screen aspects for different scenes. It seems of you have landscape on the menu scene it does that for all other scene..where I want portrait. How world I do this?

[@plasmapig1356]

Is there a way to make the view orthographic on one axis and perspective on another so if you move closer and further away, things would only get bigger/smaller on one axis? I’m talking about 3D not 2D games.

[@matronator]

Amazing video! After searching so many tutorials, this is finally the one that actually does what I want! Thank you! One question though: Now it scales based on the screen size only. But on devices like iPhone X that have the weird display with the cut out and round corners it's not really desired. Is there some way to make it scale not to screen size, but the safe area of the screen only?

[@sudeepacharya1492]

Hi, thank you for the tutorial. But this doesn't work when the orthographics camera is rotated 90 on x-axis. Please help! ANd also please make tutorial for Perspective view as well!

You sir have saved my ass in LD 47 :D

[@serpaolo7413]

Does this work for Platformer games (Mario Style) where the character is constantly moving and the camera must follow him?

[@MagotizilaBr]

Hey guys how do i set a start camera position, i'm making a 2d game and i want the camera to stay in the left border where start the game but if the user changes the resolution the camera goes further and swallow a little piece of the scene what should i do to fix this? How do i make the camera stay in the start left border without swallow in it?

[@pressstart6864]

If you know where the edge of your game is, just set the cameras position to the position of the edge plus half screen width.

Yeah so I dont have a Main camera just a camera, and i got an error saying camera has no definition called "Main"

Then just make add this to the start of your code: “public Camera camera”, then drag the camera in the inspector and instead of calling it camera.main.orthographicsize in the script just call it “camera.orthographicsize”.
