A surprisingly un-jank 3rd person camera that tries to be smooth and playable.

In your Tushonka stained hands you find The Third Person Camera Mod for Tarkov. Think Ghost Recon, The Division or Arc Raiders. A camera mod that has gone through extensive tuning to make the 3rd person perspective not only playable but enjoyable.


Full disclosure: It's not perfect - this is Tarkov after all - but it tries to minimize the number of times that you get killed because it wanted to hide behind a shoebox.


Best enjoyed with a full bodied red wine and a solid slab of medium-rare HollywoodFX


Features

  • Extensive configuration. Do you wish to observe the world through the left earhole of your PMC? Do you identify as a geo-stationary spy satellite? These are all possibilities that are placed at your fingertips.
    • Shoulder or First Person view can be picked separately for red-dot and magnifying optics.
    • Accurate Fireport Crosshairs in ADS mode or allways-on.
    • Keybinds and multiple control schemes
  • Robust camera collision handling. The camera always strives to keep the player visible and avoid small niches or holes in the environment.
  • Gun stance sync (ie automatic shoulder swap based on lean or camera stance)
  • Grenade ballistic arc assist for those trick shots (via the bundled Janky's Visual Assist mod)
  • Blind fire & side step (extended lean) are super useful because you can see how much body you are exposing and can shoulder peek behind obstacles. This rewards a careful playstyle of staying behind cover.
  • ...and many more

Conflicts


Anything that messes with the camera, player and gun stances is potentially a conflict.

TODO

  • Sounds made by the player (e.g. pain or loot search) are muffled
  • Force FP for thermal scopes
  • Press vs Hold style keybinds

Media

Better videos coming soon, for now some teasers done on a testing build:

  • can u add more gore? i need rpg and granades to tear bodies of enemies of horses!!!!! bugcatdancing

  • Can a camera be mounted on a character's head? I need realistic camera shake，thanks

  • Hey Bro, is there any chance of a version that works for 3.10?

    • Unfortunately no. Too many things changed since then, and we are getting close to SPT 4 as well.

  • how do I activate the mod? What's the keybind?

    • Open the F12 menu, look for section "Janky's Lights, Camera, Hodor" and you can configure everything under there.

  • Bug report: when you use a hotkey to change between shoulders in 3rd person, and you go to first person, the gun and hands heavily BUG out, shake like hell and in 3rd person it looks EXACTLY like @Levhart published in Imgur.


    Plz fix, mod is absolutely superb

    • Can you please come to the discord? And a screenshot of you bepinex/plugins folder and a video demonstration the issue would be also super helpful, thank you.

  • Camera staring ground, when move mouse to normal character looking sky and my overall look like this.(no mod)

    0gDIo2P

  • Amazing mod, man!


    Can you develop something for recording cinematics, like the camera unsnap or kappacam? I need it so bad lol!

    • Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to be honest: I wasn't planning on taking this further than a 3rd person camera mod. If anyone wants to extend it with further capabilities, I'm more than happy to integrate their work or they can just fork the source code - it's public after all.

    • Your mod works like a charm. It's so snappy I couldn't believe it. Definately will be using it to record some cinematics. Biggest struggle right now is to find a mod that does camera paths smootly. I tested the Cinematic Unity Explorer but it has some major dips in performance, besides the bugs.


      Btw, the only freecam mod working now is the Freecam by Terkoiz but it misses some features, works better for taking screenshots.

  • Love the mod, really enjoying it! just commenting about an issue idk if your aware or not but when you try to talk with you pmc the voice comes across as muffled or sounds like its from very far away/ not from your pmc, the voice work's as normal in first person but third person the voice remains muffled.

  • ehi bro complimenti, la telecamera terza persona offre una nuova esperienza,ed ben fatta ;) ;) ;)

  • How about a feature where camera is centered on player above? Just asking, maybe i don't know and it is already in the mod?

    • Just change the main camera coordinates in the f12 menu.

      Heart 1

  • Genuinely need that visual ballistic grenade throw thingy to be its own mod!!

    Thumbs Up 3

  • Woahhhhh bro?!! You've truly outdone yourself on this one 👏👏👏👏

  • This mod saved my relationship.

  • Hey mate, Looking forward to making some footage with this. I have an issue where the camera keeps jumping back and forward from 1st to 3rd person and back and forth continuously. Is there any mods that you know of that conflicts? Thanks

    • Come to discord buddy, I can't really provide support here.

      A screenshot of your bepinex/plugins folder will be needed and then if you could turn on the debug visualisation in the F12 menu and record a short clip highlighting the issue, that'd be helpful.

  • i use one of the mouse's side keys to change the 3rd person camera angel which is the same key as switching sights key(mouse 3). i played full 3rd person for a while and when i switched to normal 1st person i realized the mouse3 switches shoulder and sights at the same time. the main key for shoulder switching doesnt do its job and is bugged. it just flinches the character's hand to the left side of the screen and slides it back to the right side. is it fixable or should i just change the keybinds

    • I am confused :)


      So you bound m3 to switching sights and also swapping the camera between left and right? What do you mean by camera angle please?


      There's a dropdown called gun sync, maybe set that to "none"?


      If you come to the discord and post a vid, it might be easier to understand what you mean.

    • ok i'll try and send a clip there on discord

      Heart 1

    • 3.Stance Control → Toggle Stance Key : (mouse 3), now enjoy! :* :thumbup:

    • what janky said worked

      thanks

  • is it possible to toggle between third and first person using the in game config or a keybind? I really like the look of this but I don't think I want to commit 24/7.

    • You could've just installed it and checked... It's not like you are married to the mod once it's installed :D


      But yes, you can toggle between the two modes with a keybind.

    • I did download it and check i'm enjoying it a lot. game feels great with motion blur and an ultrawide monitor. my only trouble is I've been noticing when I extract, my player model is left where I was standing in following raids.

    • Huh that's an odd one. I haven't encountered that one before... if you have any clips & logs for this, I'd appreciate it.


      Come to the discord if you can (see pinned message), I can't really provide support here.

    • I installed a couple mods since posting that comment, BDSM and FIKA particularly, and the problem no longer persists, I suspect bc of one of these mods, but I can't be sure.

  • Bruh I can't believe we got Tark Raiders before 1.0


    Thanks for the banger mod. I've noticed the crosshair sometimes gets sticky when aiming over the shoulder. I noticed this especially when aiming at doorways.

    • Hey, thanks for the kind words. Do you have a clip of the sticky crosshairs by chance? I didn't notice this issue but maybe I misunderstand what you mean.

    • I captured this:


      You can see the crosshair panning normally next to the doorway, and then snapping around inside the doorway.

    • Yeah that happens because the crosshair shows on your screen where the bullets would hit. As you pan across the doorway, the bullets will hit the wall beyond the doorway.

  • Hi. Thanks for the incredible mod. It really brings a new experience to the game.

    I think I ran into a problem, I'll try to describe it.

    At the customs location, a scav ran into a bush next to me.

    The distance between us was 5 meters. I spent 2 AK magazines on him and he remained standing without receiving damage. After which I switched to first person and put him down with two rounds.

    Five minutes later, the situation repeated itself, but I already knew what to do. From first person and the scav is killed.

    I came to the conclusion that scavs in the bushes from a third person view are invulnerable.

    • Can you please join the discord? I don't provide support here.


      This mod doesn't do anything to guns or damage, so you are very likely having a mod conflict or other issue. Nobody else reported this either.

  • playing with this mod in labs and factory is very fun

  • Can you add a keybind which swaps between shoulder and scope view while ADSing? I find myself swapping between the two when using iron sights to take long range shots.

  • Finally, Ghost Recon but good

    Thumbs Up 1

  • Daaaamn, looking good

  • this is a really cool mod! genuinely having so much fun with it. will there be a option to toggle between shoulder and main view? cause playing factory is kinda hard sometimes lol

    • There's already a keybind for toggling to shoulder cam.

  • complete game changer, absolutely love it....

  • if your thirdperson is buged set headbob to 1

  • This is very cool

  • Hello Janky!

    I noticed that after installing HollywoodCam that I was able to open doors from quite a bit further away than I am normally able to. About the same distance the camera is placed in 3rd person. I assume it's something about the camera distance calculations not being cleared when going back into first person. Not a huge issue, just thought I'd share.

    Thanks for the ridiculously cool mods! <3 This is really cool!

    Heart 1

    • Yo, this is deliberate. Look at the "3rd person interaction range" setting in the F12 config. You can lower this if you want to. I made it quite generous so that doors aren't too much of a headache to open.

      Heart 1

    • Apologies for my unclarity!

      To clarify, the distance still seems to be quite far even when switching back to first person mode.

      The third person view makes total sense! But it felt a tiny bit cheaty being able to open doors from further away in first person mode. :P In fact, going from 3rd to 1st allows me to even step back a couple of steps and still interact with the door. I tested this with a dev account with no other mods (in case there was some sort of conflict)

      TLDR: I think the "3rd person interaction range" idea was/is being applied when in 1st person. (Again, not a big deal <3)

    • It is, but unfortunately it's not entirely trivial to make this work differently between 3rd and 1st person modes :(

      Heart 1

  • i just wanna say this is such a cool mod for many reasons. ive been using your FX too.

  • Dad is home :D
