3rd person character control in VR
So.. I have movement in VR via the OVRPlayerController. What I would like to do next is to "follow" a character in 3rd person. I can find lots of "how to's" in regard to 3rd person character animation and following etc using Cinemachine in Unity. What I can't find is the equivelant for doing the same thing for the Oculus - or do i just use Cinemachine??
Any links to suitable videos or instructions would be gratefully recieved.

OK. 'sort of' got this to work. Though not entirely sure it's the correct way, but it's a step forward.
* I have a character animation which was supplied with basic movement (from the Unity Asset store)
* I deleted the character movement script as I am using OVRPlayerController which has been placed as a child of the character animation (so I can use the paddles for movement)
* Created a CinemachineVirtualCamera to follow and look at the character animation
* Deleted the CinemachineBrain as this was confusing everything completely(!)
Did the above and it follows the character around nicely. Again, this isn't a complete solution as I can't control (or haven't figured out how to yet!) things like jumping; idle anims; etc!
Hi Gavin, are you able share your source code for this?
Hi. Sorry. It was a project from a few years ago that has gotten lost between computers - and to be honest was a bit of a rubbish effort that I fudged together at the time.
I found the below via Unity that should be of help to you:
Have fun!
