HOW TO ROTATE THE CAMERA AROUND AN OBJECT IN UNITY (EASY TUTORIAL)

In this video I show you how to rotate the camera around an object using the mouse in a way that makes sense. We will code a simple C# script to achieve that. Controlling the camera is something you have to do when programming any video game. There are many ways to do it, but I'm showing you the one I found works best for me. I hope you find it helpful!

You are an absolute god, tied and failed this exact problem for so long. You saved a very important school project of mine.

YouTube needs more Unity tutorials like this. Emma Prats, thanks for the high-quality video! I liked and subscribed to your channel.

I tried to figure this problem out for two straight days before I found your video. Thank you so much for your solution!

Brilliant tutorial Emma! Clear, concise and very professional! Rather that just saying "just do this and this will happen" you're explaining exactly what the code does so the user knows what's going on and actually learns from your video so they can do it themselves! Subscribed!

Last time I tried to make this kind of camera I just gave up because I could get it to work no matter what I tried. Very good job!

Nice there are a lot of people uploading high quality tutorials on Unity now. Good.

The best implementation of this subject on youtube! Three years ago but still kicking ass! Thank you.

I loved it! I was looking for this everywhere and I could only use find complicated and overthinked solutions. Thanks!

A little change/update. If you put the 'cam.transform.position = target.position' before the if statements in Update, and 'cam.transform.Translate(new Vector3(0, 0, -10));' after the if statements, the camera will follow the object while it moves, and will only rotate when you click the mouse button.

Yay, this is the solution I was looking for, works very well, thank you so much!

[aledlewis]

Thank you very much! I had been searching for this, and only found various complex solutions creating circular paths for the camera with Mathf.cos and .sin. This is so much more straightforward! I guess you don't know what you don't know, so I'm glad to now know about RotateAround.

You are soo smart first you are very fast and second i completely understand your words. 🥰

This was EXTREMELY helpful, thanks Emma

[ashajain]

I was looking for a week Finally I did that.

[bigsmoke]

I couldn't get this to work, but I appreciate the explanation nonetheless.

[Diertstarr]

First of all thank you for the video; concise and to the point!

QQ: the cam orbits around a static object. How can I also have it follow the object if it moves?
