Using API to blend CM Camera's outside of timeline

I'm trying (quite poorly) to programatically blend 2 Cinemachine cameras rather than use the timeline.

After struggling with the old 1.1 docs online (d'oh) I found the API documentation in the package, however still not to sure how to implement.

I have created a new CinemachineBlend object, with a fairly rudimemtary AnimationCurve (

Code (csharp):

1. new AnimationCurve(new Keyframe(0, 0), new Keyframe(1, 1))

), however not to sure how to proceed from here, if, indeed, this is the correct first step.

The ActiveBlend object on the CinemachineBrain is just an accessor (externally read only), and I've tried calling

Code (csharp):

1. UpdateCameraState()

in both the Update and a Coroutine. There is a potentially useful method on CinemachineBrain

Code (csharp):

1. SetCameraOverride

but it's very firmly labelled 'Do Not Use'.

I considered setting up a Timeline and programatically swapping out cameras on that, but that felt, both, less flexible a solution and a bit of a hack.

At this point, I have to admit, I've got no idea what I'm doing.

Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated.

 

Have you tried to just change priority of your vCams?

 

It's not just switching cameras I want, I want to select 2 cameras and blend between them, like I can on the timeline.

Also, the nature of the game means that I cannot be sure of which cameras need to be blended until runtime, and I may even programatically generate cameras

 

Thanks a lot - I'll give that a try
