    Hello everyone, I want to follow my player in a 3d game and want it to perform as a free look camera but it just keeps bouncing and inverting the mouse movement although I unchecked the invert checkbox.
    For another question, what is the most advised technics for selecting a camera if I want like a god of war type of game? (i know it's a lot hehe, but I want to try anyway) , i mean when i am reaching an area the camera will follow the player, in another area to stay in the same position and only look at the player

    Can you show the inspector for the FreeLook, and an image of the object hierarchy, including the player, the FreeLook, and the main camera?

    Normally you will make a second vcam, with the desired settings. When the time comes, just activate it (enable it or raise its priority). The CM Brain will take care of blending from the previous active vcam. Afterwards, deactivate it (or lower its priority) and the camera will blend back to the previous one.

    There is a handy script (CinemachineTriggerAction) that can help with this, if you are activating when the player enters a trigger region.

    You have DoNothing in the aim, so the FreeLook's position will just orbit around the player, but it's rotation won't change. You need to put Composer in the Aim section for all 3 rigs, and add the player as the LookAt target. This instructs the camera to look at the target, in addition to orbiting it

    Have you looked at the example scene that come with CM? Look at the TriggerVolume sample, it shows how to switch cameras using a trigger volume.

    You find them here, it imports them into your project. You can delete them afterwards.
