I need help with camera rotation

[drkica1234 (Bagel)]

I’m trying to make a GUI where camera in viewportframe rotates around the model while looking down at it from a 45 degree angle.

Everything works, except the 45 degree top down view.
This is my code:

RS:BindToRenderStep("RotateCam", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, function(Tick)
			rotation +=  SPEED * Tick
			local rot = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotation), 0)
			Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(utils.LookAt(Camera, Cloned, 90, Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)).Position) * rot
		end)

This is the utils.LookAt function:

function utils.LookAt(Camera: Camera, Object: Model, FOV: number?, Offset: Vector3?): (CFrame, CFrame)
	local isModel = Object:IsA("Model") or Object:IsA("Tool")
	local CF: CFrame = (isModel and Object:GetPivot()) or Object.CFrame
	local Pos = CF.Position + (Offset or Vector3.new())
	local Size: Vector3 = (isModel and Object:GetExtentsSize()) or Object.Size
	local halfSize = Size.Magnitude / 2 + (FOV and FOV / 25 or 0)
	local fovDivisor = math.tan(math.rad(Camera.FieldOfView / 2))
	local Offset = halfSize / fovDivisor
	local Rotation = Camera.CFrame - Camera.CFrame.Position
	return Rotation + Pos + (-Rotation.LookVector * Offset), Rotation + Pos
end

If I change the CFrame.Angles thing to this: local rot = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotation), math.rad(-45) it looks very weird while rotating.

Any help appreciated.

Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Cloned.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotation), math.rad(-45)) * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,-5,0))

It still rotates weirdly.

This is how it should rotate over the part looking at the part the whole time:

And this is how it rotates when I add * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(-45)):

Hope this explains my problem better.

Then

Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Cloned.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotation), math.rad(45)) * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,5,0))

It doesn’t work. Its somewhere off screen now.

[MrKlocek2 (MrKlocek)]

Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Cloned.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotation), 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-45), 0, 0) * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,15))

[drkica1234 (Bagel)]

Its the same code you just provided in your last response…

[MrKlocek2 (MrKlocek)]

Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Cloned.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(rotation), 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-45), 0, 0) * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,0,15))

[drkica1234 (Bagel)]

you just increased the offset… This wont work.

[MrKlocek2 (MrKlocek)]

Say that its not working after you test it…

[drkica1234 (Bagel)]

Bro I’m impressed, it works!
Sorry for doubting you.
