Cameras
The Camera section of the C# Component Samples demo contains a set of samples demonstrating how to set and adjust a camera for various use cases:
This sample demonstrates a first-person spectator-style camera with free movement.
The CameraSpectator.cs component provides free-flight first-person controls by modifying the position and orientation of a PlayerDummy node in real time. The movement and rotation are handled via the CameraControls.cs component that defines directional input.
The camera moves in six directions (forward, backward, left, right, up, down) and rotates using pitch and yaw angles. The Speed and Angular Speed parameters can be adjusted in the component properties to control the camera's movement and rotation responsiveness.

This sample demonstrates an orbital camera rotating around a target.
The CameraOrbit.cs component enables orbit-style camera movement around a target object using a PlayerDummy node. Input is handled via the CameraControls.cs component, which provides configurable input controls for camera movement and zoom.
The camera behavior can be customized using the exposed parameters: Angular Speed, Zoom Speed, Min/Max Distance, and Min/Max Vertical Angle. The Target field defines the object the camera orbits around.

This sample demonstrates a camera moving parallel to the screen plane using the CameraPanning.cs component assigned to a PlayerDummy node.
The CameraPanning.cs component implements a free panning camera that allows movement along the view plane, rotation, and zoom based on mouse input.
The camera position can be adjusted by dragging the scene, and rotation is enabled by holding the right mouse button. Zooming is controlled with the mouse wheel. The responsiveness of movement and rotation is configurable via the Default Linear Speed, Mouse Sensitivity, and Mouse Wheel Sensitivity parameters in the component properties.

This sample demonstrates a camera following a moving target.
The CameraPersecutor.cs component implements a third-person follow camera that smoothly tracks a moving target defined in the Target field. The camera adjusts its distance, pitch, and yaw to maintain the desired view of the target, using the PlayerDummy node as its base.
Input is handled via the CameraControls.cs component and allows orbiting around the target as well as zooming in and out. The behavior is configurable through parameters such as Angular Speed, Zoom Speed, Min/Max Distance, Min/Max Vertical Angle, and the Use Fixed Angles toggle. The Target field can be manually assigned and defines the object the camera will follow.
The target movement is defined by the CameraPersecutorTarget.cs component, which moves the object along a circular path over time to demonstrate dynamic tracking.
