presumably, you can clone the character and update the CFrame of each part when the CFrame of the corresponding parts change, and just use the offset from HumanoidRootPart to move the character within the ViewportFrame?
I’m attempting to replicate what you just told me, and when I run the game the Camera is (destroyed?) or dissapears from the Model that I put it in.
What do you mean by this?
Yes that should happen. The camera will still work in the ViewportFrame but you won’t be able to edit the camera directly.
I believe if you really wanted to you could access the camera by using ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera

local offset = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:toObjectSpace(someOtherPart.CFrame)
You’d then use the offset in your ViewportFrame to position everything relative to the HumanoidRootPart.

I presume you’re attempting to do something along the lines of this
if so then I’d recommend using "Dual Render" Scope System

Not really, more like the character I linked here.
If you give me some time, I’ll modify my camera system to do that for you!

Update 6/13/2021:
Rewritten for the latest Luau VM, using better coding style and more efficient practices.
Includes an OFFSET variable to control where the view is positioned relative to the HumanoidRootPart.
Enjoy!

Does this include updates incase the player has armor added on for example?

Oh, my bad.
I’ll go add that and update the OP when done!
Thank you so much, I’ll mark it as a solution for you.
Also one small thing, (although I can fix this), the file you sent does not include the ‘CameraPart’ and ‘Screen’ parts of workspace.
Yeah I forgot to remove that 
It’s a leftover from the Camera system. I’ve fixed it in this new version that I will send shortly.
Updated the post with a new file

Works, thank you so very much. If you need anything from me, just ask me on the DevForum or twitter, or discord. My respect is eternally given to you.

This works perfectly, but I think there’s a memory leak or something because if I rapidly equip and unequip a tool, my FPS just keeps decimating and decimating. I went from like 80fps to 20 from maybe 10-15 seconds of quick switching
Sounds likely. Something I whipped together quickly a year ago is likely to be subpar.

Wow, you replied fast, I appreciate it!
What can I do to fix it though?
