ULTIMATE Camera System in Unity! (Move, Rotate, Zoom, Edge Scrolling, 3D and 2D)

🔴 RELATED VIDEOS 🔴

💬 Here's a pretty big video but it's the only one you need for a COMPLETE Camera System
Let's learn how to make a Camera we can Move around (with input and also with Edge Scrolling and Pan Drag), Rotate, Zoom (3 methods) and in 3D and 2D.
With this you have a perfect Camera System for any game where you want the Player to control the camera, works for Strategy games, Tycoons, Management, Top Down Action, etc.

I'm seriously impressed by both the rate and quality of content you put out.

[abdou]

Awesome! You’ve been doing an amazing job with your videos lately. Especially the character swap and the backstab videos! Looking forward for more content.

[RancorSnp]

Oh, this sounds like it's going to be a vrry good addition to your turn based strategy course, the camera controls were driving me crazy during testing ^^'

[cpu_UP]

Excellent video. Totally a definitive guide for Cinemachine and all you may need to know for a Camera control.

Incredible video as always! One issue I ran into with my 2D top-down game was that when I rotated the camera, my health bars in world space would also rotate. To keep the health bars (and other world space UI elements) aligned with my camera, I added a script component to my world space canvases with this Update() function:

private void Update() {
Camera camera = Camera.main;
+ camera.transform.rotation * Vector3.forward, camera.transform.rotation * Vector3.up);
}

This makes sure that canvases that are children of my game objects would remain aligned with the camera.

There may be a better solution, but I hope this helps anyone else with world space canvas rotation issues!

thank you so much for making more videos lately
your channel is an archive of experience and knowledge, aspiring programmers could look into

thanks for updating and making great video tutorials

Some tips:
1. If you tap both W and A, S and D, etc., you get a speed boost to the camera which can be a bit strange. Use this code to fix that:

float inputMagnitude = inputDir.magnitude;

if (inputMagnitude > 1f)
{
inputDir /= inputMagnitude;
}

inputDir.z *= (1f + inputMagnitude);
inputDir.x *= (1f + inputMagnitude);

Basically, it divides z and x by a certain amount to cancel the extra-speed effects.

2. You can change those 4 (or 8 if you use two line if statements, or even 16 if you also add braces) GetKey movement lines to something much more compact like this:

inputDir.z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
inputDir.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

Also, it is better to use an GetAxis approach if using the old input system anyway.

Great, now I just need to look into fading objects obstructed by the camera. Thank you!

[Axthemax]

This is a wicked awesome tutorial! I was able to modify this to work with my orthographic lens flawlessly following your tips and guide! TY!

[alicivrilify]

You are doing wonderful work. It tremendously helps and fastens my work. Keep it up. It seems like you know everything about Unity.

[lastkings_games]

Nice! I remember learning Cinemachine from your old video and this looks very useful too!

[Luvseatshawty]

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. For sake of time, I just skipped to the rotation part to solve my problem. It worked like a charm. I'm definitely saving this video in a playlist to reference later. I'm sure there's tons I can use because I suck with everything that has to do with the transform component lol

[gustavomartins]

My favorite way is to do linear regression for the minimum and maximum points of camera position and rotation, then you will get straight lines that go from the minimum point to the maximum of the camera, then you use the mouse scroll to decrease or increase a float which will define the x and then you calculate the Y midpoints of the camera and define the current position for it, this method gives a more dynamic effect, at the same time that the camera lowers or raises it rotates together, it is wonderful!

[clarathulin]

thanks for the amazing tutorial! so nicely explained and all bases covered :]

[jean-michel.houbre]

And another great video from Code Monkey, still as efficient as ever. Thanks !

[vazzius]

Great video as usual! You content is always so well done and informative. When using Cinemachine i always like to use the framing transposer to handle zoom, because of the camera distance property it has.

[stephans]

Wow he's really good at what he does. I really appreciate him sharing his coding knowledge. Thank you Code Monkey!

[pebkaclive]

Awesome video, thank you. First time picking up Unity and learning to create a game and I managed to follow this (just). ran in to a couple of issues and managed to resolve them too.

[StellarMirage]

The script and the scene both are looks awfully good
