RTS / Topdown Camera with cinemachine

[Censureret1]

Hey is it possible to create an RTS style camera with cinemachine and if so how? i have been looking at the samples from version 2.6.0 but i couldn’t find something like this.

Has anyone made such a camera before ?

Yes, definitely.

There are several ways depending on your exacts needs, but for a simple setup you could use Transposer and Hard Look At. See the attached images, for an example.
If you’d like to change the camera position, for example make it less side view and more top down, then play around with the Transposer’s Follow offset.

What if i wanted a free flight camera that doesn’t Follow a unit?

You can do a free flight camera with a Do Nothing vcam. Set the Body and Aim components on the virtual camera to Do Nothing. Then if you can just move the vcam around, and the camera will follow.
