Struct CameraState

The output of the Cinemachine engine for a specific virtual camera. The information in this struct can be blended, and provides what is needed to calculate an appropriate camera position, orientation, and lens setting.

Raw values are what the Cinemachine behaviours generate. The correction channel holds perturbations to the raw values - e.g. noise or smoothing, or obstacle avoidance corrections. Coirrections are not considered when making time-based calculations such as damping.

The Final position and orientation is the comination of the raw values and their corrections.

Namespace: Cinemachine

Syntax

public struct CameraState

Fields

kNoPoint

This constant represents "no point in space" or "no direction".

Declaration

public static Vector3 kNoPoint

Field Value

Type	Description
Vector3

Properties

BlendHint

These hints can be or'ed toether to influence how blending is done, and how state is applied to the camera

Declaration

public CameraState.BlendHintValue BlendHint { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
CameraState.BlendHintValue

CorrectedOrientation

Orientation with correction applied.

Declaration

public Quaternion CorrectedOrientation { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Quaternion

CorrectedPosition

Position with correction applied.

Declaration

public Vector3 CorrectedPosition { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

Default

State with default values

Declaration

public static CameraState Default { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
CameraState

FinalOrientation

Orientation with correction and dutch applied. This is what the final camera gets.

Declaration

public Quaternion FinalOrientation { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Quaternion

FinalPosition

Position with correction applied. This is what the final camera gets.

Declaration

public Vector3 FinalPosition { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

HasLookAt

Returns true if this state has a valid ReferenceLookAt value.

Declaration

public bool HasLookAt { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Lens

Camera Lens Settings.

Declaration

public LensSettings Lens { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
LensSettings

NumCustomBlendables

The number of custom blendables that will be applied to the camera.
The base system manages but otherwise ignores this data - it is intended for extension modules

Declaration

public int NumCustomBlendables { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Int32

OrientationCorrection

Orientation correction. This will be added to the raw orientation. This value doesn't get fed back into the system when calculating the next frame. Can be noise, or smoothing, or both, or something else.

Declaration

public Quaternion OrientationCorrection { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Quaternion

PositionCorrection

Position correction. This will be added to the raw position. This value doesn't get fed back into the system when calculating the next frame. Can be noise, or smoothing, or both, or something else.

Declaration

public Vector3 PositionCorrection { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

PositionDampingBypass

This is a way for the Body component to bypass aim damping, useful for when the body need to rotate its point of view, but does not want interference from the aim damping

Declaration

public Vector3 PositionDampingBypass { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

RawOrientation

Raw (un-corrected) world space orientation of this camera

Declaration

public Quaternion RawOrientation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Quaternion

RawPosition

Raw (un-corrected) world space position of this camera

Declaration

public Vector3 RawPosition { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

ReferenceLookAt

The world space focus point of the camera. What the camera wants to look at. There is a special constant define to represent "nothing". Be careful to check for that (or check the HasLookAt property).

Declaration

public Vector3 ReferenceLookAt { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

ReferenceUp

Which way is up. World space unit vector. Must have a length of 1.

Declaration

public Vector3 ReferenceUp { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Vector3

ShotQuality

Subjective estimation of how "good" the shot is. Larger values mean better quality. Default is 1.

Declaration

public float ShotQuality { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Single

Methods

AddCustomBlendable(CameraState.CustomBlendable)

Add a custom blendable to the pot for eventual application to the camera. The base system manages but otherwise ignores this data - it is intended for extension modules

Declaration

public void AddCustomBlendable(CameraState.CustomBlendable b)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
CameraState.CustomBlendable	b	The custom blendable to add. If b.m_Custom is the same as an already-added custom blendable, then they will be merged and the weights combined.

GetCustomBlendable(Int32)

Get a custom blendable that will be applied to the camera.
The base system manages but otherwise ignores this data - it is intended for extension modules

Declaration

public CameraState.CustomBlendable GetCustomBlendable(int index)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Int32	index	Which one to get. Must be in range [0...NumCustomBlendables)

Returns

Type	Description
CameraState.CustomBlendable	The custom blendable at the specified index.

Lerp(CameraState, CameraState, Single)

Intelligently blend the contents of two states.

Declaration

public static CameraState Lerp(CameraState stateA, CameraState stateB, float t)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
CameraState	stateA	The first state, corresponding to t=0
CameraState	stateB	The second state, corresponding to t=1
System.Single	t	How much to interpolate. Internally clamped to 0..1

Returns

Type	Description
CameraState	Linearly interpolated CameraState
