Unity Cinemachine: How to Create a Dolly/Track Virtual Camera

Goal: Learn how to create a track dolly in the scene

The tracked dolly camera is another unique camera that limits the camera's body to a predefined track (path).

• A virtual camera that is given a path (track) to follow the player
• Must have both look at and follow properties
• Create a game object called path and attach the cinemachine path script

• The path can be adjusted by adding new waypoints. These waypoints have two transforms one is to ease/smooth the track creating arcs, and the other moves the position.

• Path units -> stop the dolly at specific waypoint #
• Path distance -> Dolly travels the entire distance of the track

• Move the dolly manually or through scripts.
• Auto dolly moves the track according to player movement

Dolly Cart

Instead of the camera following the player, the camera's body is linked to the Cart. As a result, the cart will move independently, and its speed is adjustable.
