Resident Evil Camera System in Unreal Engine (UE5) — Part 2: Tracking & On-Rail Cameras
This is Episode 2 of my Resident Evil–style Camera System series in Unreal Engine 5!
In this tutorial, we build on the fixed-camera foundation from Episode 1 by adding two iconic survival-horror camera types: Tracking Cameras and On-Rail Cameras. By the end, you'll have a flexible, fully functional retro-horror–style camera system that blends all three seamlessly.
