Simple Third Person Controller

A Unity-based third-person character controller created entirely from scratch without relying on Unity's built-in character controller. This project is designed to provide developers with a foundational, fully customizable third-person control system for 3D games. It demonstrates how to build essential movement mechanics using only Unity's core components and C# scripting. Whether you're building an action-adventure game, an RPG, or any 3D project requiring character movement, this controller serves as a starting point for learning and development.

🚀 Features

  • Third-Person Movement: Smooth character movement using standard input controls.
  • Camera Control: Cinemachine is used to control camera.

📂 Project Structure

  • SimplePlayerControllerExample/: Contains all project resources such as scripts, prefabs, and scenes.
  • SimplePlayerControllerExample/Scripts/: Includes C# scripts for character and camera controls.
  • SimplePlayerControllerExample/Scenes/: Pre-configured demo scene showcasing the controller in action.
