Create Smooth Cinematic Footage in Third-Person

Position Your Camera for Cinematic Shots

Enter third-person view by pressing F5, then use your mouse to position the camera at an angle that frames your character nicely against the landscape. The mod's smooth camera gliding makes panning and rotating feel like professional camera work rather than jerky game footage.

Walk Slowly for Smooth Tracking

Move your character at a steady pace through interesting terrain or your builds. Because the camera follows with a gentle glide instead of snapping to position, your recorded footage will look polished and cinematic. Avoid sudden direction changes—smooth, deliberate movement showcases the mod's strengths.

Adjust Settings for Your Scene

Before recording, consider tweaking the camera smoothing speed in the config menu. Slower settings create a more dramatic, sweeping feel ideal for showcasing landscapes. Faster settings work better for action sequences where you need the camera to keep up with quick movements.

Capture Transitions

The smooth F5 transition between first-person and third-person is itself visually appealing. Use these transitions in your footage to add polish and variety to your cinematic shots.
