Cinemachine Free Look Camera

The Cinemachine Free Look Camera component provides a third-person camera experience. This Cinemachine Virtual Camera orbits around its subject along a position specified by three separate camera rigs: Top, Middle, and Bottom.

Each rig defines a ring around the target, with its own radius, height offset, composer, lens properties, and Noise settings. These are the same as the properties for a regular Virtual Camera.

Cinemachine Free Look Camera also defines a spline that connects the rigs. The spline defines the camera’s position when blending between the rigs.

Free Look uses player input along the x and y axes. The x axis controls the orbital position along the Top, Middle, or Bottom horizontal orbits, like the Orbital Transposer. The y-axis controls the vertical position, using the spline to determine the position between rigs.

Properties:

Property:		Function:
Solo		Toggles whether or not the Virtual Camera is temporarily live. Use this property to get immediate visual feedback in the Game view to adjust the Virtual Camera.
Game Window Guides		Toggles the visibility of compositional guides in the Game view. These guides are available when Look At specifies a GameObject and the Aim section uses Composer or Group Composer, or when Follow specifies a target and the Body section uses Framing Composer. This property applies to all Virtual Cameras.
Save During Play		Check to apply the changes while in Play mode. Use this feature to fine-tune a Virtual Camera without having to remember which properties to copy and paste. This property applies to all Virtual Cameras.
Priority		The importance of this Virtual Camera for choosing the next shot. A higher value indicates a higher priority. Cinemachine Brain chooses the next live Virtual Camera from all Virtual Cameras that are activated and have the same or higher priority as the current live Virtual Camera. This property has no effect when using a Virtual Camera with Timeline.
Follow		The target GameObject to move with. The Body properties use this target to update the position of the Unity camera.
Look At		The target GameObject to aim at. The Aim properties use this target to update the rotation of the Unity camera. This property is normally the same as the Follow target.
Common Lens		Check to apply a common lens setting to all three child rigs. Uncheck to use separate lens settings for each child rig.
Lens		If Common Lens is checked, these lens settings apply to all three rigs. These properties mirror their counterparts in the property settings for the Unity camera.
	Field Of View	This is the camera view in vertical degrees. For example, to specify the equivalent of a 50mm lens on a Super 35 sensor, enter a Field of View of 19.6 degrees. This property is available when the Unity camera with the Cinemachine Brain component uses a Projection of Perspective.
	Orthographic Size	When using an orthographic camera, this defines the half-height, in world coordinates, of the camera view. This property is available when the Unity camera with the Cinemachine Brain component uses a Projection of Orthographic.
	Near Clip Plane	The closest point relative to the camera where drawing occurs.
	Far Clip Plane	The furthest point relative to the camera where drawing occurs.
	Dutch	Dutch angle. Tilts the Unity camera on the Z axis, in degrees. This property is unique to the Virtual Camera; there is no counterpart property in the Unity camera.
Transitions
	Blend Hint	How to blend to and from the Free Look camera. Use None for default linear interpolation of position and aim. Use Spherical Position to blend spherically about the Look At position, linearly blending between Look At targets. Use Cylindrical Position to blend in a cylindrical path around the Look At target and interpolate linearly on the vertical axis. Use Screen Space Aim When Targets Differ for a standard linear position blend, with screen-space angular blend between differing Look At targets.
	Inherit Position	When this virtual camera goes Live, attempt to force the position to be the same as the current position of the Unity Camera, allowing the virtual camera to apply its damping to accomplish the blend
	Camera Activated	This event is invoked when the Virtual Camera becomes live. Attach custom handlers here if you need them.
Y Axis, X Axis		The vertical and horizontal axes for blending between rigs. For Y Axis the Value range is 0 to 1 and represents the blend position between the Top, Middle, and Bottom rigs. The value 0.5 represents the middle rig. For X Axis, the Value is the angular deviation (in degrees) of the camera from directly behind the target.
	Max Speed	The maximum speed of this axis in units/second.
	Accel Time	The amount of time in seconds to accelerate to Max Speed.
	Decel Time	The amount of time in seconds to decelerate to zero.
	Input Axis Name	The name of this axis as specified in Unity Input manager. Setting to an empty string disables the automatic updating of the axis.
	Input Axis Value	The value of the input axis. A value of 0 means no input. To drive this directly, use a custom input system. Or you set the Axis Name to control the value with the Unity Input Manager.
	Invert	Check to invert the raw value of the input axis.
Y Axis Recentering		Controls the automatic recentering on the y axis.
	Enabled	Check to enable automatic recentering.
	Wait Time	When no user input has been detected on the axis, the camera waits this long in seconds before recentering.
	Recentering Time	Maximum angular speed of recentering. Accelerates into and decelerates out of the centered position.
Orbits		Properties for defining the Top, Middle, and Bottom rigs.
Binding Mode		The coordinate space to use to interpret the offset from the target. Also sets the up vector. Cinemachine keeps the camera oriented in the up direction while aiming. These modes do incredibly different things, so try them out and one should work well for whatever your requirements are.
	Lock To Target On Assign	The target’s local frame at the moment when the Virtual Camera was activated, or when the target was assigned.
	Lock To Target With World Up	The target’s local frame, with the tilt and roll reset to zero.
	Lock To Target No Roll	The target’s local frame, with the roll reset to zero.
	Lock To Target	The target’s local frame.
	World Space	World space offset.
	Simple Follow With World Up	Relative to the target, using camera-local axes.
Spline Curvature		The tautness of the line that connects the rigs’ orbits. This line determines the final placement on the y axis.
Height, Radius		The radius and height of the Top, Middle, and Bottom rigs relative to the Follow target.
