Any ideas, i was thinking of a sin formula, wich would be set on when key would be pressed.

Like shaking the cam a bit when a key is pressed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simple, Graphing X=sin of Y will result in a squigly line so just use the changing X value to rotate the camera. Heres a quick demo.


If it hasn't exploded yet, I haven't touched it.

Did you want a 'free camera' look, the shaky 'realistic' movements they use in recent films?

One technique I've made is to make a hidden cube, place it at the camera position. Then move the cube outwards away from the camera in your desired direction behind your focal point. Then have the cube move and rotate in several axis every frame, then point the camera at it.

This will give you a nice 'free camera' look without the math. Greater the distance of the cube, the more subtle the movement. Closer you get, the more erratic the camera movement. Play around with the cubes movement speed and rotation speed and axis to get your desired effect.

I guess this would be considered a cheaters way out of this technique. Oh well, it works.
