An intuitive 2D / 2.5D camera path plug-in
At its core, Railcam 2D is a professional target-following camera for Unity.
What makes Railcam 2D unique is its powerful and intuitive camera rail system.
Railcam 2D supports both orthographic and perspective camera modes for 2D and
2.5D games.
Why Rails?
Camera rails reduce the camera's freedom of movement, and in turn allow more
control over camera position. If the camera's path can be predicted, the
camera's position along that path can be manipulated.
Using rails gives us some powerful abilities:
- Lock camera movement to a single axis
- Move the camera along the opposite axis to the target's movement
- Limit the camera to certain areas of a scene
- Make the camera trail behind or move ahead of the target
- Make the camera wait at certain positions
These abilities can be used to create professional camera effects, such as:
- Follow a player horizontally while preventing vertical camera movement.
- Give a hint to a player on where to go next.
- Hide areas of a level until after a game event.
- Focus a player's attention on an obstacle.
- Surpise a player by quickly revealing new areas of a level.
- Create zones or sections in a level.
- Contain the camera within a level boundary.
Why Choose Railcam 2D?
Versatile
Railcam 2D supports multiple targets, multiple rails, straight and curved
rails, three types of follow axes (X, Y, and XY), inbuilt transition effects,
and integration with Unity's event system. A single rail can also have a
combination of curved and straight segments and multiple follow axes.
Already have a camera component? No problem, as Railcam 2D's rail system
integrates easily with custom camera components. See the
Custom Component Integration Guide.
Intuitive UI
Create an unlimited number of rails and manage all of them in a **single
editor** with Railcam 2D's Rail Manager. See the
Rail Manager
documentation for more info.
Railcam 2D's user interface is clean and informative. A descriptive scene UI
coupled with a unique Inspector UI creates a fast and productive design
environment.
Non-coder friendly
Access all of Railcam 2D's core functionality from the Inspector, without ever
having to write a line of code.
Fully documented
Both the Railcam 2D UI and API is
fully documented. The documentation
also includes several easy-to-follow user guides covering general use-cases.
Optimized
Fast and efficient, Railcam 2D was developed with a goal of minimal CPU
overhead, so you can do more with less.
Customizable
Total source code access and an extensive use of comments means you can easily
tweak Railcam 2D to satisfy unique project requirements.
