Unity - What Are The Cameras All About - By Michael Priest
So what are Cameras and what exactly are they used for in Unity you may ask well the answer is somewhat simple they give you an Portal to see the 3D world that you have created mainly as the players POV ( Point Of View ), but they can be used in a number of different ways they can be used in scenes as needed they can also be used to control the rendering of images such as if you are far away from an object in your world you would see it less clearly as you would if you were very close to it, the farther you are from the object the less detailed it will be to save on rendering then if everything would be highly detailed. If you do not understand what Rendering is don't fret we will cover it in much more detail in the coming Blogs. Cameras in Unity can also be used in cut scenes and they also are capable of many different effects like Sun Glare and many other useful things.
This is a great video that I found that will give you a little better understanding of Camera Effects in Unity. I am a visual learner so I will try to use videos to help get my some of my main points across to you when I am able to find them.
When we get into the Unity Game Engine and start working with it I will be going into much more detail with lots and lots of screen shots so do not beat yourself up about any of these concepts as of right now I just want to you have a general idea of what they are and what they are used for in a 3D Environment.
