Easily Switch Between Cameras In Cinemachine

Let’s explore how easy it is to switch between cameras using Cinemachine. We’ll start with a simple scene that includes a Virtual Camera, an animated cube and a sphere hovering above a plane:

We want a script that switches the camera from the animated cube to the sphere. So to do that, let’s use GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>().LookAt which we can access by ‘using Cinemachine’. We’ll create variables that hold a references to the Virtual Camera and the target objects:
