# blazium-camera

Follow and framing. Engine baseline: **Blazium 0.8.x (Godot 4.8.x fork, branch `blazium_4.8`)**. Use APIs that exist on `blazium_4.8`.

## Why

A camera that jitters, peeks past the level, or lags the body makes motion feel broken even when the controller is correct.

## What

`Camera2D` smoothing, drag margins, limits, look-ahead offset, `Camera3D` orbit, `SpringArm3D` collision, multi-target framing.

**Non-goals:** pixel snap, hit-stop, and player movement.

## How

1. Inspect the current camera and who writes `offset`.
2. Prefer built-in smoothing and drag margins.
3. Follow after physics. Smooth with `1.0 - exp(-rate * delta)`.
4. Verify limits and spring-arm collision with Autowork or play mode.

## Reasoning

Distinct from `blazium-pixel-perfect` (integer snap) and `blazium-game-feel` (punch). The router can load framing without loading juice.

## Sources

- Blazium: `Camera2D`, `Camera3D`, `SpringArm3D`

## Limits

Do not invent camera classes. Pin Blazium 0.8.x (Godot 4.8.x fork, branch `blazium_4.8`).
