Hey everyone! A brand new tutorial is now LIVE over on YouTube!

Today we are learning all about Cinemachine Virtual Cameras and the properties that help make them so powerful! Cinemachine continues to impress me and I hope that these tutorials have helped you on your gamedev journeys! It will be awesome to start using it in the built-in series so we can really start controlling the camera like most 3rd person character controllers.

Voting for the next tutorial is now live so be sure to cast your vote: https://www.patreon.com/posts/60613685

Cheers! 🍻
