godot-3d-camera-shake

Note

This script was made for Godot 4

Minimalist Camera3D script with realistic camera shake and interpolated rotation, based off of an implementation discussed in this GDC video.

How It Works

Displaces the camera's rotation by sampling noise and multiplying it against the camera's shake, which is the camera's trauma raised to the power indicated by the camera's ShakeScale.

Usage

Copy and paste the camera.gd script into your Godot project, and apply it to a Camera3D node. Tweak the following export properties to your preference:

• Shake Scale
  • The power that trauma is raised to in order to calculate camera shake. Squared and Cubed offer a smoother transition then Linear.
• Intensity
  • Vector3 describing the intensity of the camera shake on each axis.
• Trauma Decay
  • The rate at which trauma decays
• Passive Trauma
  • The minimum amount of trauma. Set to a non-zero value for a shaky, found footage feel.
• Mouse Sensitivity
• Follow Weight
  • The weight for interpolating the camera's actual rotation to it's target rotation
