There are certainly other ways to get smooth camera motion, using interpolations and spline stuff. But I think it is possible to use a force model for it. But, for example, if you want a camera to feel like it's in a chase plane, you might want to use a physics object to model its motion. It really depends on the application, which has not been specified in the question. | |

| Feb 13, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | Flater | Moving a camera like in the DK2 menu is not the same, because the player has no control over it. From the perspective of the player, the movement is created by moving an actual camera (pic 1) to a new location. This experience actually benefits from having inertial speed, but the way it is observed/experienced is different from having control to look around. In the sacond case, you'd expect to have immediate control. | |

Just watch the menu of Dungeon Keeper 2: youtube.com/watch?v=D3eD0JLt_HA That's all done with simple equations, and it made me get motion sickness watching it. Maybe it's not always the right thing to do, but it can be. | |
