Question Framing transposer does not account for lens shift. How Can I make it happen?

[unity 2021.2.8f1 and cinemachine 2.8.4]

I'm working on a top down shooter and I'm trying to use an oblique frustum to keep the visuals interesting without sacrificing too much visual clarity to depth. So I added lens shift to the physical cam on my framing transposer vcam, and it messes things up like so




So what I want to do is shift the projection matrix or so something so things are properly framed on screen. Is there any way built in to do this? Or how could I mod it in somewhere? I'm hoping there is a way to handle this as part of cinemachine because I want to use cinemachine to blend between camera perspectives.

One clue I think I found is that I noticed the game view guides appear as though they are in the same position as the original frustum. If I turn the lens shift down such that the old and new frustums overlap, then I can see the game view guides positioned as though there is no lens shift, pictured below with a lens shift of (0,0.7). Maybe something is wrong with the projections to screen space. Could I have found a bug?



Thanks,

And as a side note, I had this working in the game in an orthographic camera thanks to the solution at https://forum.unity.com/threads/how...jection-matrix-for-a-45-degree-camera.817647/ which pretty much did it all for me. But I want to use perspective which is why that wasn't sufficient. Reworking this might be the answer instead of the built in physical camera stuff, but I'm struggling to understand how to repurpose it if so.

 

Thanks. Here is a link to a test project.

 

Thanks for taking a look at that.

You guessed it on the reason I want this. I wanted to blend between the oblique gameplay camera and the not oblique boss intros, and score summary screen perspective cameras. I will be sure to try out the angled false orthographic solution in case it works well enough.

Unfortunately though, I think the obliqueness of the perspective is too important to the idea I am exploring to give up. The reasoning behind it is to make sure that no visual information about the position of characters or hazards is lost to depth, which means I want the camera looking directly down for best results. The importance of that is amplified by my control scheme that emulates old 8-way arcade joysticks instead of free mouse aiming, which complicates the act of lining up shots. And the oblique part comes from my personal distaste for games where all I can see are the tops of people's heads.

I appreciate you looking at that and ruling out lens shift through cinemachine for my use case, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. If the angled false orthographic projection ends up being too big of a compromise, then I can focus on finding another way to swap perspectives. Maybe I could just mask the transition with tv static or something.
