How do I Add Some Movement Sanctions to a Camera to Reduce its Shakiness?

Unity Engine

The camera is parented to an animated character head bone to prevent it from drifting off. The issue is the camera is shaky. How do I stabilize it?

I suggest you don’t parent the camera to the head bone and instead write a script for following the head bone. The cameras movement should be updated in LateUpdate and you can lerp its position to stabilise it. I’ve used a follow script like this:

public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject ToFollow;
    public float Speed;

    Vector3 offset;

    void Start()
    {
        offset = transform.position - ToFollow.transform.position;
    }

    void LateUpdate()
    {
        if (ToFollow == null) return;

        var targetPos = ToFollow.transform.position + offset;
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, targetPos, Time.deltaTime * Speed);
    }
}

Set the characters head to the ToFollow parameter. Adjust the speed to what you need, start with a value of 1. The camera will then follow the head smoothly.

Thnx man I’ll tinker with it when I go home
