I've spent *years* researching 3D Platformer Cameras in hopes of making Slime 64's camera "not terrible." In this thread, the White Cylinder is the Camera Target (slightly above the player!), and the Orange Cones represent the "vertical dead zone" where the camera won't follow player movement.

oh my god I am so interested in different styles of third person cameras and what makes them feel good or bad... Do you have recommendations for resources to learn about different types and features? Amazing thread. Your camera is great!!

I sure do!! My journey started with this GDC talk: youtu.be/C7307qRmlMI?... I actually bought the book from the start and found it helpful in the abstract to really understand the ~7 degrees of control you have over the camera as a designer From there lots of hands-on game experimenting
