    Hi there,

    I might just oversee a very simple solution or setup, but I'm trying to use Cinemachine as my standard cam setup, but I can't seem to have my virtual cam follow my player + rotate with it in ALL directions. (To have my player stay in place, while the world around it rotates up side down.) My player is a spaceship in a 3D space.

    Does anyone have a suggestion what setup is required?

    Cinemachine Cameras care about which way is up, since that influences the way they frame their subjects. If you want the Camera's Up to always match the local Up of your spaceship, you can set a World Up override on the brain:

    Put your spaceship there, and then CM will use the spaceship's local up to define Up for its purposes. Then set up your vcam to look at the spaceship. Use a Transposer with a LockToTarget binding mode. Then, the offsets you put there will be relative to the spaceship's transform.

    I think that should do it, if I understand correctly what you're looking for.

    @Gregoryl, It's exactly what I meant, and your instruction works perfectly. (When put the Aim at 'something' instead of 'Do Nothing' btw ;-) Thank you very very much for taking the time and effort to help, + Cinemachine works and looks amazing! Cheers

    Especially with the Pitch, Yaw and Roll damping my player flies like a ninja through space. Awesome.
