Miniature Camera – Tilt Shift Camera Effect

Technical details :

• 2 blur modes: Depth-Based (3D DoF) and Linear Gradient (screen-space)
• 3 blur engines: Gaussian, Kawase, Dual Kawase
• 4 quality levels: Low, Medium, High, Ultra
• Bokeh shapes: Disabled, Circle (8-dir), Hexagonal (6-dir)
• Auto Focus via screen-center raycast with exponential smoothing
• Physical Camera: Circle of Confusion (f-stop, focal length, sensor height)
• Depth protection: bilateral rejection at depth discontinuities
• Render Scale: Full / Half / Quarter resolution blur pass
• Time Control: Time.timeScale + frame-rate simulation (4–30 FPS)
• 5 built-in ScriptableObject presets
• Full scripting API with auto-clamping
• Scene View overlay (UIToolkit)
• Debug mode: color overlay for focus zone visualization
• Profiler markers visible in Frame Debugger
• 1 shader (6 passes), 1 material, Shader Model 3.5+
• Tested on Unity 6.3, 6.4, 6.5 — URP 17.x
  

Miniature Camera brings cinematic tilt-shift and depth-of-field to Unity 6 URP. Choose between a depth-based 3D DoF mode or a screen-space linear gradient for a classic photo tilt-shift look.

Three blur engines (Gaussian, Kawase, Dual Kawase), four quality levels, bokeh shapes, render scale, and a physical camera mode using the Circle of Confusion formula. Auto Focus tracks depth via screen-center raycast with exponential smoothing. A Time Control feature adds game speed and frame-rate simulation for stop-motion and miniature aesthetics.

Everything is controllable from the Inspector, the Scene View overlay, or at runtime through a clean scripting API. Five built-in presets included (Default, Portrait, Landscape, Miniature, Cinematic).
