Hello guys. I'm starting to work on a college project and i guess it's safe to say i don't have any professor to ask for help on this.
Right now my goal is to create a Third Person Camera with some characteristics.
I want the player to always be in the screen
I want to rotate the camera with my mouse
I want the player rotation to follow the Camera Rotation
Right now I'm using a CinemachineVirtualCamera with an empty object inside the player to act as the camera follow target.

Why not make the camera follow the player? You control the player and the Camera is in a specific spot?

i tried that, but it creates a problem...
i dont really get that freedom o aim wherever the player wants to aim
Its going to be a third person shooter
I tried looking for some tutorials, but they are all incredibly specific on the mechanics... using two or more cameras for the aim, etc...

Ah, yeah I could see aiming adds a new problem I don't have with my 3rd person rpg project
vivid tusk
yeah...
i would kinda want this offset in rotation and in placement, think it would give it a good feel

I think a second camera sounds like the right answer, I use several cameras and I switch between them. The map is a camera from space basically over the player, the minimap is a camera etc

I really dont need any of that. But i do need 1 decently working camera
I dont want to zoom in with mouse2, i dont want to switch FOV or to a different camera
I really just want to be able to have a free aim, the player on the screen and rotation on mouse
its going to be an 3D bullet hell game, hopefully

Is there a game that does what you describe? Is that like fallout?
I'm not a huge FPS nerd
I'm a huge rpg nerd 😄

looks fun

the only difference is that i also want X-Axis rotation freedom as i really want to use the three axis for the bullet hell
it's something i havent seen around and i think it can be fun
but after 3 days of tweaking and tutorials im still stuck at probably ground 0

I don't really understand the camera system in the video
seems like just a shoulder mounted camera

uhm...
do you think if i just make simple follow camera, with a look at target as empty gameobject inside my controller(sibling to my player mesh) to offset the character and rotation and just deal with the player it can work?
like 3rdPersonController {
PlayerCapsule
CameraTarget
}
can then the player could maybe rotate with mouse.look ?
player == 3rdPersonController

I think it's worth a try but I'm not experienced enough with what you want to do give valid advice 😂

ive seen them
but sometimes they made me more confused than i was
The brackeys one if very RPGey and not really accurate for a shooter
