Third person camera with controllable character tutorial?

Unity Engine
1

Anyone know where I can find a tutorial that details the basics of getting a controllable third person character up and running in the software?

I’m currently using the MAC version (version 1.04) and I’m finally starting on a diary piece to help promote the software and hopefully get bedroom coding-style game design software like Unity the recognition it deserves.

Thing is, I suck. I have a great design concept but need to get the basics of constructing it in Unity down. Any suggestions?

Also, is it feasible to have a script that allows multiple set camera angles a’la the original Resident Evil?

The script tutorial makes a decent third person character.

Try upgrading to Unity 1.2.2 first.
