Zoom out in orthographic view?

thanks for the you comment, ive gotten it to work now but the thing is, its jumping from one "zoom" to the other, is there a way to make it smooth, like when your moving the camera in closer ?

$$anonymous$$ake the change in orthographic size more gradual, it doesn't need to be whole numbers. Also you can multiply the change by deltatime to make the zoom relative to real time rather than number of cycles.

One think you could to to implement a smooth orthographic camera size zoom is by using code similar to this:

zoomTimePassed += Time.deltaTime;

float t = zoomTimePassed / TOTAL_ZOO$$anonymous$$_TI$$anonymous$$E;

camera.main.orthograhicSize = $$anonymous$$athf.SmoothStep(initialZoom, newZoom, t);

Note that I haven't tested this code, but it should convey the idea of how it could be done.

The SmoothStep function will smoothly change the zoom, without any abrupt changes in the speed at which the zoom is changed.

I know this is an old post but thank you! I was having trouble with this also. I had worked out that $$anonymous$$athf.smoothStep was needed, but I couldn't get it to work nicely. This code snippet worked perfectly for me! :)

You'll likely have to have your game area and HUD rendered using two separate cameras.

try orthographicSize = Screen.height/2;
