CinemachineBrain

Type: class

Namespace: Cinemachine

Inherits: MonoBehaviour

CinemachineBrain is the link between the Unity Camera and the Cinemachine Virtual Cameras in the scene. It monitors the priority stack to choose the current Virtual Camera, and blend with another if necessary. Finally and most importantly, it applies the Virtual Camera state to the attached Unity Camera.

The CinemachineBrain is also the place where rules for blending between virtual cameras are defined. Camera blending is an interpolation over time of one virtual camera position and state to another. If you think of virtual cameras as cameramen, then blending is a little like one cameraman smoothly passing the camera to another cameraman. You can specify the time over which to blend, as well as the blend curve shape. Note that a camera cut is just a zero-time blend.

CinemachineClearShot

Type: class

Namespace: Cinemachine

Inherits: CinemachineVirtualCameraBase

Implements: ICinemachineCamera

Cinemachine ClearShot is a "manager camera" that owns and manages a set of Virtual Camera gameObject children. When Live, the ClearShot will check the children, and choose the one with the best quality shot and make it Live.

This can be a very powerful tool. If the child cameras have CinemachineCollider extensions, they will analyze the scene for target obstructions, optimal target distance, and other items, and report their assessment of shot quality back to the ClearShot parent, who will then choose the best one. You can use this to set up complex multi-camera coverage of a scene, and be assured that a clear shot of the target will always be available.

If multiple child cameras have the same shot quality, the one with the highest priority will be chosen.

You can also define custom blends between the ClearShot children.

CinemachineFramingTransposer

Type: class

Namespace: Cinemachine

Inherits: CinemachineComponentBase

This is a Cinemachine Component in the Body section of the component pipeline. Its job is to position the camera in a fixed screen-space relationship to the vcam's Follow target object, with offsets and damping.

The camera will be first moved along the camera Z axis until the Follow target is at the desired distance from the camera's X-Y plane. The camera will then be moved in its XY plane until the Follow target is at the desired point on the camera's screen.

The FramingTansposer will only change the camera's position in space. It will not re-orient or otherwise aim the camera.

For this component to work properly, the vcam's LookAt target must be null. The Follow target will define what the camera is looking at.

If the Follow target is a CinemachineTargetGroup, then additional controls will be available to dynamically adjust the camera's view in order to frame the entire group.

Although this component was designed for orthographic cameras, it works equally well with perspective cameras and can be used in 3D environments.

Type: class

Namespace: Cinemachine

Inherits: CinemachineTransposer

This is a CinemachineComponent in the Body section of the component pipeline. Its job is to position the camera in a variable relationship to a the vcam's Follow target object, with offsets and damping.

This component is typically used to implement a camera that follows its target. It can accept player input from an input device, which allows the player to dynamically control the relationship between the camera and the target, for example with a joystick.

The OrbitalTransposer introduces the concept of Heading, which is the direction in which the target is moving, and the OrbitalTransposer will attempt to position the camera in relationship to the heading, which is by default directly behind the target. You can control the default relationship by adjusting the Heading Bias setting.

If you attach an input controller to the OrbitalTransposer, then the player can also control the way the camera positions itself in relation to the target heading. This allows the camera to move to any spot on an orbit around the target.

Implements: ICinemachineCamera

This is a virtual camera "manager" that owns and manages a collection of child Virtual Cameras. These child vcams are mapped to individual states in an animation state machine, allowing you to associate specific vcams to specific animation states. When that state is active in the state machine, then the associated camera will be activated.

You can define custom blends and transitions between child cameras.

In order to use this behaviour, you must have an animated target (i.e. an object animated with a state machine) to drive the behaviour.

CinemachineTrackedDolly

Type: class

Namespace: Cinemachine

Inherits: CinemachineComponentBase

A Cinemachine Virtual Camera Body component that constrains camera motion to a CinemachinePath. The camera can move along the path.

This behaviour can operate in two modes: manual positioning, and Auto-Dolly positioning. In Manual mode, the camera's position is specified by animating the Path Position field. In Auto-Dolly mode, the Path Position field is animated automatically every frame by finding the position on the path that's closest to the virtual camera's Follow target.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
IsValid	Boolean	[Get] True if component is enabled and has a path.
Stage	Stage	[Get] Get the Cinemachine Pipeline stage that this component implements. Always returns the Body stage. Possible Values: - Body - Aim - Noise - Finalize

Fields

Name	Type	Description
m_Path	CinemachinePathBase	The path to which the camera will be constrained. This must be non-null.
m_PathPosition	Single	The position along the path at which the camera will be placed. This can be animated directly, or set automatically by the Auto-Dolly feature to get as close as possible to the Follow target. The value is interpreted according to the Position Units setting.
m_PositionUnits	PositionUnits	How to interpret Path Position. If set to Path Units, values are as follows: 0 represents the first waypoint on the path, 1 is the second, and so on. Values in-between are points on the path in between the waypoints. If set to Distance, then Path Position represents distance along the path. Possible Values: - PathUnits - Distance - Normalized
m_PathOffset	Vector3	Where to put the camera relative to the path position. X is perpendicular to the path, Y is up, and Z is parallel to the path. This allows the camera to be offset from the path itself (as if on a tripod, for example).
m_XDamping	Single	How aggressively the camera tries to maintain its position in a direction perpendicular to the path. Small numbers are more responsive, rapidly translating the camera to keep the target's x-axis offset. Larger numbers give a more heavy slowly responding camera. Using different settings per axis can yield a wide range of camera behaviors.
m_YDamping	Single	How aggressively the camera tries to maintain its position in the path-local up direction. Small numbers are more responsive, rapidly translating the camera to keep the target's y-axis offset. Larger numbers give a more heavy slowly responding camera. Using different settings per axis can yield a wide range of camera behaviors.
m_ZDamping	Single	How aggressively the camera tries to maintain its position in a direction parallel to the path. Small numbers are more responsive, rapidly translating the camera to keep the target's z-axis offset. Larger numbers give a more heavy slowly responding camera. Using different settings per axis can yield a wide range of camera behaviors.
m_CameraUp	CameraUpMode	How to set the virtual camera's Up vector. This will affect the screen composition, because the camera Aim behaviours will always try to respect the Up direction. Possible Values: - Default: Leave the camera's up vector alone. It will be set according to the Brain's WorldUp. - Path: Take the up vector from the path's up vector at the current point. - PathNoRoll: Take the up vector from the path's up vector at the current point, but with the roll zeroed out. - FollowTarget: Take the up vector from the Follow target's up vector. - FollowTargetNoRoll: Take the up vector from the Follow target's up vector, but with the roll zeroed out.
m_PitchDamping	Single	How aggressively the camera tries to track the target rotation's X angle. Small numbers are more responsive. Larger numbers give a more heavy slowly responding camera.
m_YawDamping	Single	How aggressively the camera tries to track the target rotation's Y angle. Small numbers are more responsive. Larger numbers give a more heavy slowly responding camera.
m_RollDamping	Single	How aggressively the camera tries to track the target rotation's Z angle. Small numbers are more responsive. Larger numbers give a more heavy slowly responding camera.
m_AutoDolly	AutoDolly	Controls how automatic dollying occurs. A Follow target is necessary to use this feature.

CinemachineVirtualCamera

Type: class

Namespace: Cinemachine

Inherits: CinemachineVirtualCameraBase

Implements: ICinemachineCamera

This behaviour is intended to be attached to an empty Transform GameObject, and it represents a Virtual Camera within the Unity scene.

The Virtual Camera will animate its Transform according to the rules contained in its CinemachineComponent pipeline (Aim, Body, and Noise). When the virtual camera is Live, the Unity camera will assume the position and orientation of the virtual camera.

A virtual camera is not a camera. Instead, it can be thought of as a camera controller, not unlike a cameraman. It can drive the Unity Camera and control its position, orientation, lens settings, and PostProcessing effects. Each Virtual Camera owns its own Cinemachine Component Pipeline, through which you provide the instructions for dynamically tracking specific game objects.

A virtual camera is very lightweight, and does no rendering of its own. It merely tracks interesting GameObjects, and positions itself accordingly. A typical game can have dozens of virtual cameras, each set up to follow a particular character or capture a particular event.

A Virtual Camera can be in any of three states:

• Live: The virtual camera is actively controlling the Unity Camera. The virtual camera is tracking its targets and being updated every frame.
• Standby: The virtual camera is tracking its targets and being updated every frame, but no Unity Camera is actively being controlled by it. This is the state of a virtual camera that is enabled in the scene but perhaps at a lower priority than the Live virtual camera.
• Disabled: The virtual camera is present but disabled in the scene. It is not actively tracking its targets and so consumes no processing power. However, the virtual camera can be made live from the Timeline.

The Unity Camera can be driven by any virtual camera in the scene. The game logic can choose the virtual camera to make live by manipulating the virtual cameras' enabled flags and their priorities, based on game logic.

In order to be driven by a virtual camera, the Unity Camera must have a CinemachineBrain behaviour, which will select the most eligible virtual camera based on its priority or on other criteria, and will manage blending.

OrthographicSize	Single	When using an orthographic camera, this defines the half-height, in world coordinates, of the camera view.
NearClipPlane	Single	This defines the near region in the renderable range of the camera frustum. Raising this value will stop the game from drawing things near the camera, which can sometimes come in handy. Larger values will also increase your shadow resolution.
FarClipPlane	Single	This defines the far region of the renderable range of the camera frustum. Typically you want to set this value as low as possible without cutting off desired distant objects.
Dutch	Single	Camera Z roll, or tilt, in degrees.

Methods

static LensSettings FromCamera(Camera fromCamera)

Creates a new LensSettings, copying the values from the supplied Camera.

Param	Type	Description
fromCamera	Camera	The Camera from which the FoV, near and far clip planes will be copied.

static LensSettings Lerp(LensSettings lensA, LensSettings lensB, Single t)

Linearly blends the fields of two LensSettings and returns the result.

Param	Type	Description
lensA	LensSettings	The LensSettings to blend from.
lensB	LensSettings	The LensSettings to blend to.
t	Single	The interpolation value. Internally clamped to the range [0,1].

Returns: Interpolated settings. Void Validate()

Make sure lens settings are sane. Call this from OnValidate().

NoiseSettings

Type: class

Namespace: Cinemachine

Inherits: ScriptableObject

This is an asset that defines a noise profile. A noise profile is the shape of the noise as a function of time. You can build arbitrarily complex shapes by combining different base perlin noise frequencies at different amplitudes.

The frequencies and amplitudes should be chosen with care, to ensure an interesting noise quality that is not obviously repetitive.

As a mathematical side-note, any arbitrary periodic curve can be broken down into a series of fixed-amplitude sine-waves added together. This is called fourier decomposition, and is the basis of much signal processing. It doesn't really have much to do with this asset, but it's super interesting!

Properties

Name	Type	Description
PositionNoise	TransformNoiseParams[]	[Get] Gets the array of positional noise channels for this NoiseSettings.
OrientationNoise	TransformNoiseParams[]	[Get] Gets the array of orientation noise channels for this NoiseSettings.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
m_Position	TransformNoiseParams[]	These are the noise channels for the virtual camera's position. Convincing noise setups typically mix low, medium and high frequencies together, so start with a size of 3.
m_Orientation	TransformNoiseParams[]	These are the noise channels for the virtual camera's orientation. Convincing noise setups typically mix low, medium and high frequencies together, so start with a size of 3.

Methods

Void CopyFrom(NoiseSettings other)

Clones the contents of the other asset into this one.

Param	Type	Description
other	NoiseSettings

static Vector3 GetCombinedFilterResults(TransformNoiseParams[] noiseParams, Single time, Vector3 timeOffsets)

Get the noise signal value at a specific time.

Param	Type	Description
noiseParams	TransformNoiseParams[]	The parameters that define the noise function.
time	Single	The time at which to sample the noise function.
timeOffsets	Vector3	Start time offset for each channel.

Returns: The 3-channel noise signal value at the specified time.

NoiseSettings.NoiseParams

Type: struct

Namespace: Cinemachine

Describes the behaviour for a channel of noise.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
Amplitude	Single	The amplitude of the noise for this channel. Larger numbers vibrate higher.
Frequency	Single	The frequency of noise for this channel. Higher magnitudes vibrate faster.

NoiseSettings.TransformNoiseParams

Type: struct

Namespace: Cinemachine

Contains the behaviour of noise for the noise module for all 3 cardinal axes of the camera.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
X	NoiseParams	Noise definition for X-axis.
Y	NoiseParams	Noise definition for Y-axis.
Z	NoiseParams	Noise definition for Z-axis.
