Cinemachine Collider Stuttering

It's not clear why you have that stuttering. Can you please post:

• an image of your vcam inspector
• and image of your CM Brain inspector
• what version of CM and Unity you are using

 

Hmmm... everything looks fine and dandy.
It's not immediately obvious why you're getting the stuttering.
Would you be willing to export a unitypackage containing a simple and lightweight reproduction of this problem, and send it to me?

 

Thanks for packaging that up!

Well, I think your use case pushes the collider way beyond its intended purpose. There aren't any settings that will get rid of the artifacts, unfortunately.

We'll have to come up with a new strategy. Can you describe qualitatively how you'd like the camera to behave? For example: "as if a cameraman is walking along behind the character. When the character is obstructed by a hill, I'd like the camera to do X".

 

If you just want a camera that follows the terrain at a fixed height from the surface, then the solution is quite simple: replace the CinemachineCollider with an extension that hugs the camera to the terrain. Here is an example of one:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using Cinemachine;
3.  
4. [AddComponentMenu("")] // Hide in menu
5. [SaveDuringPlay]
6. #if UNITY_2018_3_OR_NEWER
7. [ExecuteAlways]
8. #else
9. [ExecuteInEditMode]
10. #endif
11. public class CinemachineTerrainHugger : CinemachineExtension
12. {
13.     public TerrainCollider m_Terrain;
14.     public float m_CameraHeight = 1;
15.  
16.     private void OnValidate()
17.     {
18.         m_CameraHeight = Mathf.Max(0, m_CameraHeight);
19.     }
20.  
21.     protected override void PostPipelineStageCallback(
22.         CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam,
23.         CinemachineCore.Stage stage, ref CameraState state, float deltaTime)
24.     {
25.         if (stage == CinemachineCore.Stage.Body && m_Terrain != null)
26.         {
27.             var b = m_Terrain.bounds;
28.             var camPos = state.CorrectedPosition;
29.             camPos.y = b.max.y + 1;
30.             if (m_Terrain.Raycast(new Ray(camPos, Vector3.down), out RaycastHit hit, b.max.y - b.min.y + 2))
31.             {
32.                 camPos = hit.point;
33.                 camPos.y += m_CameraHeight;
34.                 state.PositionCorrection += camPos - state.CorrectedPosition;
35.             }
36.         }
37.     }
38. }

 

No worries! Let me know how it goes.
