    I am trying to access the Follow offset in Body, and Vertical/Horizontal axis value range in aim through script to change it during runtime or just get the value. Currently unsure how to do it.

    Got this sorted out.:

    Aim and Body Properties have various subsection like Transposer, POV etc. as listed in the below documents.
    https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.2/manual/CinemachineVirtualCameraAim.html
    https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.2/manual/CinemachineVirtualCameraBody.html

    First get the component which has been set in Aim and/or Body and then access the variable:
    playerFPVCamera.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachinePOV>().m_VerticalAxis.m_MaxSpeed

    Hey there thanks for the explanation but I'm not sure how to use this information, could you elaborate a bit? I can't find a way to access body properties via script

    Install the Cinemachine sample scenes from the package manager. Inside, you will find a scene called "Scripting". In there, there is a ScriptingExamples.cs file, which shows an example of this.

    https://forum.unity.com/threads/how...rtual-camera-transform-through-script.659605/

    If that may help anyone I found a the solution at the end of this thread, there is a function to force the position of the VCam from whatever type of Body you use, in my case I use the Transposer so all I had to do was

    CinemachineTransposer transposer = cam.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTransposer>();
    transposer.ForceCameraPosition(Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);

    Thanks everyone for the help!

    You're supposed to call that method on the vcam, not on the vcam's individual components. I don't know what you're trying to do or what this call did for you, but if it worked it was probably just accidental.

    hello! i want to smoothdamp the orthographicsize on virtual camera, what would be the code for that?
    currently i am using this:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. vcam.m_Lens.OrthographicSize = Mathf.SmoothDamp(vcam.m_Lens.OrthographicSize, 5.25f, ref velZoom, .2f);
    but this doesn't damp or do anyhthing. But when i give it a solid value, it changes the size but without damping.
    like so:

    vcam.m_Lens.OrthographicSize = 5.25f;

    plz help :(

    Try this:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. var lens = vcam.m_Lens;
    2. lens.OrthographicSize = Mathf.SmoothDamp(lens.OrthographicSize, 5.25f, ref velZoom, .2f);
    3. vcam.m_Lens = lens;

    You have to access the Cinemachine component inside the vcam component. For example, if the Body setting is OrbitalTransposer, you would do something like this:
    vcam.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineOrbitalTransposer>().m_XAxis.Value = bla;
