Orthographic Camera with zero near clipping plane

Hi,

Unity allows for orthographic camera to have zero (0.0) near clipping plane. For perspective camera the minimum is 0.01. Cinemachine is a little stricter and enforces 0.01 near clipping plane for both projections.

Could this be changed?

Thanks

 

Great, thanks a lot

 

Interesting, for some reason some objects are hidden in game view when the near clip plane is 0.01. I can set it to 0 and play, and they're visible again, but when I stop the game, it resets to 0.01.

I'm trying to understand why it's happening though. I'm using Spine and renderering a 2D object. The Z position of the VMCAM is -1.84, and I can't change it. I'm pretty new to cinemachine, so there's probably some setting I don't understand..

@Gregoryl which is the next release? 2019.3? Thanks!

EDIT: Never mind, it was the Z position of the object that was incorrect, in combination with the cinemachine follow function..

 

Still don't changing to 0 in Unity 2019.3.0a2... =(

 

It still resets it to 0.01 in CM 2.4 is that an error on my side?

 

@Gregoryl same here 2.4.0 preview 9 ....

 

This issue seems old but I ended up here looking for it, and I still have an issue with it in 2.7.4
setting zero or negative near clips works both in edit mode and play mode, but it always revert to 0.001 as soon as I press play.

edit: it only happens if "mode override" is set to none (with an already orthographic camera), it works perfectly if "mode override" is set to Orthographic.
