InterpolatedCamera3D add-on

Warning

This add-on is only compatible with Godot 4, not 3.x.

This add-on restores a node similar to the built-in InterpolatedCamera3D
(which was removed in Godot 4.0). On top of that, it provides more control
over smoothing by letting you use different factors for translation, rotation,
FOV changes, and near/far plane changes.

Note that this add-on is not a 100% compatible drop-in replacement to the
InterpolatedCamera3D node, as this add-on provides some features that are
backwards-incompatible.

This repository only contains the add-on. See
godot-extended-libraries/godot-interpolated-camera3d-demo
for the demonstration project.

Installation

Using the Asset Library

• Open the Godot editor.
• Navigate to the AssetLib tab at the top of the editor and search for
  "lod".
• Install the
  InterpolatedCamera3D
  plugin. Keep all files checked during installation.
• In the editor, open Project > Project Settings, go to Plugins
  and enable the InterpolatedCamera3D plugin.

Manual installation

Manual installation lets you use pre-release versions of this add-on by following its
master branch.

1. Clone this Git repository:

git clone https://github.com/godot-extended-libraries/godot-interpolated-camera3d.git

Alternatively, you can
download a ZIP archive
if you do not have Git installed.

2. Move the addons/ folder to your project folder.
3. In the editor, open Project > Project Settings, go to Plugins
   and enable the InterpolatedCamera3D plugin.

Usage

1. After enabling the plugin (see above), add an InterpolatedCamera3D node
   to your scene.
2. Select the InterpolatedCamera3D node, go to the inspector and define a Target node.
   The target node must be a node inheriting from Node3D. If the target node a Camera3D,
   the InterpolatedCamera3D will smoothly acquire its FOV and near/far plane distance values
   as well.
3. Configure the InterpolatedCamera3D's smoothing values to your liking.
   Higher values will interpolate faster.
