Camera

You can change the default position of the camera behind you, personally I like looking forward instead of down.


Changing the default camera position requires you access the Debug Settings. Be absolutely sure what you edit in here as it can be hard to find out what you did wrong if you change a parameter and forget its name. Now if you follow the guide here, and only do as mentioned here, you can always come back here to see what you changed.


There are 2 settings you might want to look at.

CameraOffsetRearView this is the position of the camera itself compared to your Avatar.

FocusOffsetRearView this is the point the camera looks at.


X: Is behind/in front. 0 is inside your avatar, - behind and + in front.

Y: Is left/right, 0 is behind Avatar, - to the right, + to the left.

Z: Is height, 0 is at your pelvis, - is lower, + is higher.


These settings update as you change them, so easy to just play around with them.

If you are typing in the field you need to hit Enter ↵ or remove the input focus from the field (fx by clicking in another field) before the changes take effect.

ESC ESC will move your camera to the default position.
