Welcome back to Souls Game Dev Journey! In this episode, we dive into using Cinemachine in Unity for top-down and orbit cameras. Cinemachine simplifies camera management, giving your game a professional touch.

Key components:
Cinemachine Brain: Manages camera transitions.
Cinemachine Virtual Cameras: Your virtual camera operators.

We start by installing Cinemachine via Unity's Package Manager.

Organize your cameras:
Create a "Camera System" object.
Add the main camera and camera target to it.

Set up the top-down camera and orbital camera as described in the video.

We also cover camera zoom and orbiting through scripting. Find the code on GitHub: (https://github.com/SoulsGameDev/Fanta....
