Question by badescuga9 · Sep 02, 2013 at 11:11 AM · camera zoom orthographic

zoom in with orthografic camera with focus on the a specific point

I have an orthographic camera and would like to implement a zoom feature to a specific point. i.e. imagine you have a picture and want to zoom to a specific part of the picture.

i know how to zoom in, the problem is to move the camera to a position that has the desired zone in focus.

How can i do so?

Have you tried http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.Lerp.html ? Should be simple enough. An example would be to have a plane/picture.. you'd click on the desired spot (get coordinates via http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Camera.ScreenPointToRay.html ) calculate how far you'd like the camera to be from the plane so that it doesn't go through the picture/plane and just lerp to that destination assuming that the camera is constantly facing the right direction.
