Movement Anticipation

The Movement Anticipation system slightly shifts the camera in the direction of movement.

This helps:

  • improve readability of movement direction
  • enhance the feeling of speed
  • provide better forward visibility during motion

The result is a more responsive and natural camera that “leans” into movement.

Behavior

Movement Anticipation is fully automatic and based on character movement.

  • the camera shifts toward the movement direction
  • the effect increases with movement input
  • the camera smoothly returns to its base position when movement stops

The system works on top of the existing framing and does not modify base camera settings.

Settings

The movement anticipation system is defined by the following parameters:

  • Enable Movement Anticipation - enables or disables camera anticipation based on movement direction
  • Anticipation Strength - maximum offset applied in the movement direction

  • Anticipation Interp Speed - controls how quickly the camera shifts and returns

  • Lateral Only - applies anticipation only left/right relative to the camera, without forward/backward offset

  • Look Input Delay - time after the last look input before anticipation becomes active again

  • Anticipation Full Speed - character speed at which the effect reaches full strength

  • Activation Interp Speed - controls how quickly the anticipation effect activates and fades out

Notes

  • Movement Anticipation is applied on top of the current framing
  • It does not modify base camera settings
  • The effect is fully dynamic and driven by movement input
