Unity Cinemachine: Using Storyboards as Reference in Virtual Cameras

Goal: Learn how to implement the storyboard extension

Cinemachine offers many features that can be added to virtual cameras through extensions. Today will be going over the storyboard extensions. Storyboard extension allows you to overlay an on-screen image in screen space over the virtual camera of your choice. This can help visualize the terrain, movement, or a sense of direction of where assets need to be.

Story Board Implementation

Like always, we need a virtual camera in the scene. Once created, select the camera and in the inspector, select add extension, then look for the storyboard extension.

From here, import your storyboard or image into your Unity Project and drag and drop the image into the texture slot. You can adjust the alpha to make it transparent in the scene. Viola you have your storyboard in the scene!
