Unity 3D - Create a Top Down Camera with Editor Tools

Build a reusable top-down camera system in Unity

Brought to you by Indie-Pixel, this course walks through creating a top-down camera of the kind used in orthographic games, built step by step from the underlying code logic rather than a black-box asset.

What you'll cover

• The code logic behind a top-down camera, explained step by step
• Building a basic editor tool to make the camera easier to adjust
• Automating camera setup
• Making the code more reusable through class structure

Who it's for

Unity developers who want to understand how a top-down camera actually works under the hood, rather than dropping in a pre-built package.

Key takeaway

By the end, you'll have your own top-down camera components — built, understood, and reusable across any Unity project you take on next.
