    Hey all! Super excited to finally dive into Cinemachine after all this time! It's one of the most robust camera packages that we can get our hands on when using Unity, and it will be great to explore all of the different features that it has to offer! As always, I hope this video helps you on your gamedev journeys and can't wait to share more! Cheers! 🍻 -Nicky

    One of the things that I really like with your tutorials is that you're not simply explaining a step by step tutorial on how to make a specific thing. You're actually deep diving into the tools and techniques, and extracting knowledge out of that. Their not tutorials as we are used to hear about, they are courses. That is the main strength about these kind of videos that you do. I know little about Cinemachine and by looking at this video makes me realise how much you can do with them. Big thanks to you! And sorry for bad english

    Can and would somebody want to do camera transitions like these in VR? And are there examples of this out there? I couldn't find much, but it might be useful for a project I'm working on. Forcing motion to a VR headset usually causes vertigo since the visual system is no longer paired 1:1 with the vestibular system. The Pivot Earth feature in Google Earth VR seems to do an okay job at it though. Just curious

    I'm trying to make a camera for the hud of my spaceship, what the camera should do is to render an hologram of the current target, the problem is that the targets aren't of the same size, so the HUD camera is pointing to an empty game object, during the game a gameObject get spawned at runtime on a specific layer so the game camera didn't show it to the player, instead the HUD camera will render the texture on the HUD. As I said the holograms have different size so the HUD Camera should change the position depending on the 3d model... any advice? 🥴
