Samples and tutorials

Several sample scenes and video tutorials are available in addition to this documentation to demonstrate how to use the Cinemachine features in real-world scenarios.

Samples

The Cinemachine package includes sample scenes that you can import to your project to discover many Cinemachine features in different contexts of use.

Sample	Description
2D Samples	Sample scenes illustrating various ways to use Cinemachine in a 2D setting. Includes: 2D Fighters, 2D Platformer, CameraMagnets.
3D Samples	Sample scenes illustrating various ways to use Cinemachine in a 3D setting. Includes: Brain Update Modes, ClearShot, Custom Blends, Cutscene, FreeLook Deoccluder, FreeLook on Spherical Surface, Impulse Wave, Lock-on Target, MixingCamera, RunningRace, SplitScreenCar, ThirdPersonWithAimMode, ThirdPersonWithRoadieRun.
Input System Samples	Sample scenes illustrating various ways to use Cinemachine with the input system. Includes: Split Screen Multiplayer.

Simple Player Controller

Several of the samples listed above make use of Cinemachine's Simple Player Controller, a basic but versatile player controller that you can use in your own projects. It is a suite of scripts that you can combine and configure to create character controllers which you can use in different contexts to implement several types of character movement.

Tutorials

A "Using Cinemachine" series of video tutorials is available online in Unity's official YouTube channel. Discover various Cinemachine use cases and watch the immediate effects resulting from the corresponding project setup.

Note

These videos have been made with a previous version of Cinemachine. You might notice a few changes in the interface and the naming of some elements, but all the explained concepts and shown functionality still apply to the latest Cinemachine version.

Video	Description
Getting Started	Keep a camera focused on a Transform and follow it as it moves around in the Scene.
Track & Dolly	Track targets by setting paths for the Cinemachine Cameras to move between.
State Driven Cameras	Link Cinemachine Cameras to animation states and further customize their behavior in the Scene.
Free Look	Create an orbital camera system with input from the player and maintain control of the camera composition at different orbit stages.
Clear Shot	Dynamically cut between Cinemachine Cameras in the Scene as a tracked target is occluded.
Post Processing	With the addition of the post-processing stack, Cinemachine allows to blend easily between different effects on the cameras or in the Scene.
Cinemachine 2D	Use Cinemachine composition tools with an orthographic virtual camera in a 2D Project.
