No Smooth camera movement although SmoothDamp function is used.

Unity Engine

Dear all,

I struggle for making a camera follow smooth. My need is to get a camera which smooth follow a target with an offset (z=-10 and y=5). The camera must stay behind the target on turn (like a car game).

Here is the part of the code tried to implement:

public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour {

	public Transform 	target; 
	public float smoothTime = 1.0F;
         private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;

       void LateUpdate() { 

          transform.position = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, target.transform.position + new Vector3(0,5,-10),    ref velocity, smoothTime);

           transform.LookAt(target);
        }

}

Although i use a “smoothDamp” function the result is still not smooth: camera movements are rough.

I also tried by “Lerp” functions like this:

transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, target.transform.position + new Vector3(0,5,-10), Time.deltaTime);
 transform.LookAt(target);

But when target is reached i have little rough camera movements. Besides i can’t control a good distance between cam and target if target speed increase.

Do you have something that could help me?

Thanks for support,

Dragon

Does anyone have an idea?

Try using your code in FixedUpdate()
