I’m a beginner with Unity and I know how to navigate the camera in the Scene tab but have no clue how to in the Game tab.
I’ve watched tutorials and people say to hold right click and use WASD and the scroll wheel but nothing happens for me. The camera remains locked, viewing my avatar from the back and far away as shown in the screenshot. Using the “Field of View” slider on the right I can zoom in, but that’s it.
I’m needing the game tab to be in play mode for me to edit a fur shader but I obviously can’t with the camera not cooperating.
The camera in the game tab is rendering from an actual camera on a game object in the scene.
You can move it around by grabbing it in the scene view and moving it with the regular transform position/rotation tools.
You can also move it by putting a script on the camera that reacts to user input during play mode. I haven’t tried it, but this looks like a nice simple one without any complex dependencies: Unity FreeCam · GitHub
All that said, most of the time you don’t need to use the game camera at all. Unity switches to the game tab when you enter play mode, but I always just switch back to scene view if I want to look around to edit things.
