Automatic Following Spline Camera - WIP

Hello.:slight_smile:

The idea is very simple: to make a 3D path so that your camera will move along it (automatically) while the target will move free along the whole level.

I thought that something like this would be useful in games that have a path levels, (like Onimusha, God of War, Racing Games) or simply to make “film-look” sequences.

Here I uploaded two very simple demos. As you will see, Red cubes determine Player’s Path (which is only a reference for the next path). Blue floating spheres determine the Camera’s Path. Link1, Link2, (I created 2 different demos with 2 different paths, but options are unlimited).

Apart from creating camera paths, you can also adjust some parameters, like camera speed, just by changing waypoints’ position. Despite that, the plugin’s structure has some weak points that must be explained, so I want to make some documentation, so people take 100% profit from this. I also want to add some camera effects (like sudden zooming and shaking). So I will be posting here the results.

I hope you like it! Goodbye! :smile:

very cool stuff :smile:

Very interesting. I’d be interested in this once it’s ready.

could you explain how you did it, do you have a tutorial or something?

Look very nice!

Thanks in advance
