BornCG | Godot 4 3D Platformer Lesson #12: Camera Controls & Camera-Relative Player Movement! @BornCG | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
In this lesson I'll show you how to improve our existing very simple 3D camera-following setup to add camera 'gimbal-like' control with the A & D keys, which allow the L/R orbiting (rotation) of the camera around the player. Our new camera setup will allow natural feeling player movement control, where the player's facing direction is relative to the camera angle when moving.
