    I want to access the Damping on the body of my CinemachineVirtualCamera. I need to change values during scene-transitions since I don't want the camera to have damping during those (creates weird behaviour). However cannot find any information on how I can do this.

    Use the GetCinemachineComponent() accessor in the vcam.
    Assuming that your Body is a Transposer, you would do this:
    vcam.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTransposer>().m_XDamping = bla;
    etc

    Code (CSharp):
    1. public void DisableVirtualPlayerCameraDamping()
    2.     {
    3.         vCamPlayer.GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>().GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTransposer>().m_XDamping = 0;
    4.         vCamPlayer.GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>().GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTransposer>().m_YDamping = 0;
    5.         vCamPlayer.GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>().GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTransposer>().m_ZDamping = 0;
    6.     }
    This returns a NullReferenceException. Anything I could be missing?

    vCamPlayer could be null
    or vCamPlayer might not be a CinemachineVirtualCamera
    or vCamPlayer might not have a CinemachineTransposer in its Body section.

    Hey sorry for reviveing this, but I sorta have the same question about how to access the Body Damping but on CineMachine FreeLook camera instead, seems like the syntax gonna be different for FreeLook Cam.
    Pic attached (the red is what I wanna access, the X,Y,ZDamping's from the Body -> Orbital Transposer)

    Each of the 3 rigs on the FreeLook has its own damping settings. You can do freelook.GetRig(n).GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineOrbitalTransposer>().m_XDamping etc, where 0 <= n < 3.

    You can see examples of this sort of thing in the "Scripting" sample scene that ships with CM.

    Hi, I just wanted to share, I wanted to make the camera move away from the character when walking/running on my 3rd person game. This worked for me:

    //class

    public CinemachineVirtualCamera cinemachineVirtualCamera;

    void Update()
    {
    CinemachineTransposer transposer = cinemachineVirtualCamera.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTransposer>();

    if (Input.GetKey("w"))
    {
    transposer.m_YDamping = 3f;
    }
