True Motion V 3. 6 | Update

🟢 SUSPENSION SLAM

🔹 Purpose: to convey a sharp suspension “impact” when a wheel hits a pothole / joint / curb hard
🔹 Principle: detects fast and strong suspension compression and generates a short impulse in the camera

📍 Previously — SUSPENSION SLAM:

🔹 Was calculated mostly through a general “impact” on the car body
🔹 Often reacted unevenly: the rear felt stronger, the front weaker
🔹 There was less clarity about which wheel actually produced the impact

📍 Now — SUSPENSION SLAM:

🔹 Calculated per wheel
🔹 Now it’s much clearer where the impact occurred (front/rear, left/right)
🔹 Synchronized with Dynamic Pitch, so camera movement looks more natural when the camera shifts downward along the Y axis over sharp bumps

🟢 ADVANCED BUMP OSCILLATION

🔹 Purpose: to add a short “after-effect” of the car body after an impact, like a spring/damper settling
🔹 Principle: not just a single jolt, but a small decaying oscillation after the bump

📍 Previously — ADVANCED BUMP OSCILLATION:

🔹 There was a single global oscillator for the entire car
🔹 The source was mostly shared, so the effect felt “averaged out”: it wasn’t always clear how the front and rear axles moved relative to each other

📍 Now — ADVANCED BUMP OSCILLATION:

🔹 Calculated separately for each wheel
🔹 Takes suspension travel changes for each wheel, then combines them into a final signal
🔹 As a result, bumps feel more alive and more accurate across the axes
🔹 Also synchronized with Dynamic Pitch

📍 Previously — Y ROAD REACTION:

🔹 Worked as an additional layer on top, partially damping Y-axis movement (Y axis = vertical camera movement)
🔹 Sometimes behaved inconsistently and could conflict with other Y-based systems
🔹 Could produce strange effects at speed or in real-time — usually chaotic up/down jitter

📍 Now — Y ROAD REACTION:

🔹 The old overlay system has been removed
🔹 Y behavior is now built into the main pipeline (XYZ / Y ROAD REACTION)
🔹 Fewer conflicts, easier to tune, and more predictable results

🔹 This results in a much more natural camera compression effect over both small and large bumps, and also decouples the camera from body tilt
🔹 This is especially noticeable during longitudinal load — hard acceleration and braking

📍 Previously — wobble:

🔹 Was a more “synthetic” effect: mostly sine/noise at a fixed frequency
🔹 Weakly tied to what the car was actually doing
🔹 Could look nice, but not always believable — which is why it was disabled

🟢 Wobble

🔹 Purpose: to introduce subtle, natural head/camera vibration so it doesn’t feel like the camera is “mounted on a tripod”
🔹 Principle: blends micro-movements from the road, suspension, and body into a constant but controlled background motion

📍 Now — wobble:

🔹 Tied to physics: takes into account body motion changes, road noise, slam, and bump
🔹 The shaking is no longer timer-based, but driven by real suspension/road events

🔹 The effect is now more “alive”:

• calmer on smooth roads

• more active on impacts and bumps

🔹 In simple terms, it adds subtle extra motion that makes the camera feel more alive
🔹 The effect is still not very strong — I’m continuing to fine-tune it

📍 Z-axis updates (forward/back movement)

🔹 Several new systems have also been added for the Z axis (longitudinal camera movement — forward/backward)
🔹 This idea might not appeal to everyone, but you can always disable movement along this axis

🔹 In short:

• during a hard launch, the camera slightly lags behind the car, creating a noticeable jolt

• a damping effect has also been added to simulate the head settling into the seat

🔹 This is still an early version, and I will continue adding more effects to better convey vehicle power through the camera

🙏 Special thanks

🔹 Huge thanks to ADoseofReel for sharing their NeckFX preset, which helped me look at certain aspects of camera behavior from a different perspective

🚀 Future goal

🔹 In the future, I’d like to get closer to a result that fully conveys that intense acceleration feeling in very powerful cars
