Official Cinemachine 2.6 Official

2.6.0 fails to compile with:

Code (CSharp):

1. Library\PackageCache\com.unity.cinemachine@2.6.0\Runtime\Behaviours\CinemachineConfiner.cs(179,13): error CS0103: The name 'm_BoundingShape2DCache' does not exist in the current context

We have Physics 2D disabled in our project.
Part of the code in

CinemachineConfiner.cs

is inside some

#if

, part of it is outside, that's why it doesn't compile.

 

Hi, thank you for the update, especially for the support for new input systems. One thing that is not immediately clear to me from the docs of IInputAxisProvider is how the "axis" value is used. Is it just: X = 0, Y = 1, Z = 2?

 

@Gregoryl

Nice update but there seems to be something that does not work as it use too. Before it was easy to readjust the virtual cameras that were part of the timeline selecting the camera in the hierarchy and applying transform on the selected camera. Not this seem impossible. For example selecting a virtual camera , raising it on the Y axis does not apply the change in the timeline anymore, it seems like the camera animation transitions are baked and not editable anymore. I am using Unity 2019.3.13f1 for your info.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

@Gregoryl Thanks for the quick reply.

It will be easier to see with a video. Basically I edit a virtual camera but the transform are lost when playing the timeline the next time.

Thanks for your help!

 

This is a second video where I have problem Changing the Z rotation for my virtual camera. Thanks again for your help!

Same here, that why I hesitate before reporting this.

No it does not.

I thought that was what I was dong right now.

I am not sure but I think it might be related tp a new cache feature. I did not have any cache feature before installing this version of Cinemachine. But know I can see a cache when playing the timeline. Could that be possible? I might have to go back to a previous version because I need to get some work done and I feel unsecure not being sure if my virtual can be adjusted later on. I also notice that if I assign something in the

field, and than later want to set it to none, I can not do that neither but again, sometime it works, other time it doesn't.

 

@Gregoryl

Thanks again for the quick reply and cache bypass info. It seems related to the cache. If I disable "use scrub bubble" than I can use the gizmo tool to move the camera. If I enable "use scrub bubble" the gizmo tools works only in the timeline section where I did not play (cache) the camera.

 

@Gregoryl

I am using Unity 2019.3.13f1 and Timeline 1.2.14.

 

@Gregoryl

I will let you know if I find anything else.

Thank you.

 

@Gregoryl

I deleted an asset (Super Pivot tool) that I started using yesterday. I am not saying that the asset is the problem but deleting it solve my rotation problem meaning that I can now enter rotation values in the virtual cam. This did not solve
the cache problem but just disabling "use scrub Bubble" works for me. I think I am back to the normal.

Thanks again for your quick replies and help!

 

@Gregoryl

Thank you and the Unity team for the quick reply and support.

 

Hello. When I try to drag Virtual Camera to Cinemachine Shot noting happens:

How can I debug reason of this?

Update: (Didn't remove it in case someone else faced the same issue): To solve issue, need to add CinemachineTrack to the Bindings of the PlayableDirector

 

I was about to ask if there is any new news regarding the dots version of cinemachine because I had an annoying behaviour that my vcam that was following my player character (via an intermediary empty gameobject) was always a frame late with its position update.

But then by accident, I saw that you could do a manual cinemachine brain update which allows me to trigger it in an ecs system after physics and gameplay code is done. So camera updates run now very smoothly.

Thanks for providing that manual update option.

 

Hi there, it seems like 2.6.1 has lots of bugs fixed. But after upgrading to 2.6.1 (or later versions, even in 2.6.3), basic multi channel perlin in timeline preview doesn't work. The shake effect won't show up in game view.

 

Hi Gregoryl, sorry for my late reply and thanks for your quick response.

Scrubbing is one of the issue. But I think it has been like that since V2.6.0. Nothing changes during the period from V2.6.0 to V2.6.3.

The main issue I bumped into is that I pressed preview play in timeline and there was no shake effect shown on game view. Then I tried impulse source component to make shake effect. It worked nicely in preview playing and scrubbing. But unfortunately, our team has already built a sound pipeline for multi channel perlin shake effect and there's no return at this point. I wonder whether if this preview issue is reproducible.

Thanks again for your reply.

 

@Gregoryl So is that correct for me to understand that Perlin Noise does work in 2.6.3 timeline preview? I'll find out what happens in our project. Thanks for your helpful response.

 

Fresh project on Unity 2019.4.14f1 (3D - PC)
Import cinemachine 2.6.0 no issue, upgrading to 2.6.1 no issue.

Upgrading to 2.6.2, 2.6.3 or 2.6.4 triggers me this:

21. UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallUpdateFunctions()

I've tried reimporting the project. And delete library. No effect.
Package manager clearly mentioned it is 'verified' so i'm a bit bewildered right now.

Edit:
-same issue on 2.6.1 as soon as I click on the installed package entry in package manager window

 

Did you upgrde the recent version

 

Ah, interesting. We have similar issues with the Scrub bubble errors and package manager compile errors as @Immu has mentioned.

I will collect Information as well

 

I can further confirm its the exact same error as @Immu

I made a new hdrp template project and install was fine same as your @Gregoryl

However our core populated project, which was updated to 2.6.3 has thrown the errors.
Installing/ uninstalling/ library rebuilding or packi cache doesn't seem to help here.

If I remember correctly there was some cinemachine menu that had experimental features in previous versions. I thought the scrub bubble may have been one of them.

The only other thing I noticed last week when diving into this was that our populated project never updated the package manifest to include cinemachine.

Hope that helps some.

 

I really hope the team considers turning that Camera Magnet sample into a fully-fledged Cinemachine feature. It's a super-common use-case that Cinemachine currently doesn't have a way of replicating without using custom code.

 

Certainly.
-We pulled a fresh project from Collab to test updates (editor and cinemachine)
-Once pulled, library rebuild etc, cinemachine was updated to 2.6.3, and the error mentioned struck
-initial checks were to make sure it downloaded locally properly
"roll back" to 2.6.0 (that essentially introduced more errors.)
- back to fresh collab pull and any changes there, of which none.

-we then proceeded to update again from 2.6.0 to 2.6.3 same again, we checked the changes and this time the packaged manifest had excluded

"com.unity.cinemachine": "2.6.3"

Packages-lock.json however did include the file.

Hope that helps elaborate some.
I'm attempting a shorter project path as you've mentioned above now, thanks for the imput (NOTE:This may have solved the issue, we're now two folders in from root rather than 4 originally)

 

I get the following error:-

[Package Manager Window] Error adding package: com.unity.cinemachine@2.6.4.
