Dev Diary #125 - Camera Preview

Recommended Posts

Hey there Ylanders!

Hope you are all keeping well out there. We are hard at work on update 1.3 and one of the many features coming in this update is Camera Preview. This will make working with the camera feature overall much easier and more intuitive because while before you had to go in-game to check out your camera angles, with Camera Preview, you’ll be able to do so in the Editor itself.

Never again!

So, in the most basic situation, you’ll be able to select your camera and either press the camera preview button or the ‘C’ key to enter preview mode and thus see the camera angle from the proper POV. Another great addition to this is, that whenever you turn on camera preview, it will also set off an Animator test, so you’ll see, how your animations look in-game, or how the movement of the camera will actually look from the point of view of the player.

Much better :-)

When the camera is tied to a player, be it side-scrolling, 3rd person, top-down and so on, the preview will also turn on character mode, in which you can try out, how it will work for the player. There will be even more additions to the camera preview that will make life for Creators easier when figuring out their next camera angel and we will all be Sven Nykvists in no time.

And that is all for today, so stay classy but most importantly stay safe Ylanders!
