Rooms + Content Fitter results in jumpy transition

[travisn]

Hi,

In my project I'm using the Rooms extension and Content Fitter extension. I'm finding that when the camera slides between rooms, for example moving from one room directly beneath another, the camera is moving slightly on the Z axis, then when the transition is complete the camera jumps to correct the movement.


Here's an quick vid of what I'm finding: RoomsContentFitter.mp4 (153.18 KB) Notice that in the last frame of the vid the camera's Z position jumps back from 4.446 to 4.40

If I disable the Content Fitter Extension, the transition is smooth and the camera doesn't move on the Z axis at all when moving up/down between rooms.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!

Hi travisn,

The issue with the ContentFitter is that it constantly sets the camera size to the defined size. If the Room you're trying to enter is changing the camera size, that will cause some conflicts and the hiccups you're seeing. The solution is to make the rooms big enough to fit the camera, and not enable the "Fit to Room" option.

Hi Luis,

Thanks for the reply - I've disabled the Scale to Fit option on all the rooms, and I've also noticed that the target aspect ratio I was setting in the Content Fitter extension was slightly off. I've now got smooth transitions between rooms while still maintaining the correct camera aspect - thanks!
