Summary

Bevy Pan/Orbit Camera provides orbit camera controls for Bevy Engine, designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind. Use it to quickly prototype, experiment, for model viewers, and more!

Features:

• Smoothed orbiting, panning, and zooming
• Works with orthographic camera projection in addition to perspective
• Customisable controls, sensitivity, and more
• Touch support
• Works with multiple viewports and/or windows
• Easy to control manually, e.g. for keyboard control or animation
• Can control cameras that render to a texture

Controls

Default mouse controls:

• Left Mouse - Orbit
• Right Mouse - Pan
• Scroll Wheel - Zoom

Default touch controls:

• One finger - Orbit
• Two fingers - Pan
• Pinch - Zoom

Quick Start

Add the plugin:

.add_plugins(PanOrbitCameraPlugin)

Add PanOrbitCamera to a camera:

commands.spawn((
    Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(0.0, 1.5, 5.0)),
    PanOrbitCamera::default(),
));

This will set up a camera with good defaults.

Cargo Features

• bevy_egui (optional): Makes PanOrbitCamera ignore any input that egui uses, thus preventing moving the camera when interacting with egui windows

Version Compatibility

• babylon.js: I referenced their arc rotate camera for some of this
