A professional-grade, smooth, and feature-rich vehicle camera plugin for Godot 4, featuring dynamic FOV, corner banking, and built-in juice effects.
Pro Vehicle Camera is a production-ready camera controller designed for games. It eliminates the "robotic" feel of standard cameras by using an elastic tether system, offering fluid motion that reacts to the physics of your vehicle.
- Elastic Tracking: Smooth, weight-based following with no jarring deadzones.
- Auto-Align Look-Back: A professional look-back system that automatically swings the camera to the rear and recovers smoothly when released.
- Dynamic FOV: Speed-dependent Field of View stretching to increase the sensation of velocity.
- Corner Banking: Subtle, realistic camera tilt during steering maneuvers.
- Juice System: A simple
trigger_shake(intensity, duration)function for impacts and collisions. - Inspector Control: Easily enable or disable features directly from the Godot Inspector.
- Download: Download this repository as a ZIP file.
- Move Folder: Extract the ZIP and copy the
addons/pro_vehicle_camera/folder into your project'sres://addons/directory. - Enable: Open Godot, go to Project > Project Settings > Plugins, and set Pro Vehicle Camera to Enabled.
- Use: Add the
ProVehicleCameranode to your scene and drag your vehicle node into the Follow This slot in the Inspector.
- Input Map: Ensure you have an action defined in Project > Input Map that matches the
Look Back Actionsetting (default is"look_back"). - Vehicle Setup: The plugin automatically detects
linear_velocity(forVehicleBody3D) andsteering(if defined in your vehicle script). - Juice: To trigger a shake during a crash, call the following from your vehicle's collision script:
