Speed up setLookAt or lerpLookAt

Here is the slow movement follow issue

...The very slow transition makes the game feel very slow and disconnected from the character:

[Samstiles]

Here is the "over rotating and lerping in the opposite direction of the mouse movement" issue:

And my camera rotation logic:

        // in my camera  constructor
        document.addEventListener("mousemove", (event: MouseEvent) => {
            if (VulpineMiscUtils.IsUndefinedOrNull(this._tagCamera)) return;

            if (GameClient.PointerLock.PointerIsLocked() === true) {
                const { movementX: horizontalMovement, movementY: verticalMovement } = event;

                this._characterFollowLateralAngle += horizontalMovement * Config.Camera.MouseSensitivity;
                this._characterFollowVerticalAngle += verticalMovement * Config.Camera.MouseSensitivity;

                this._characterFollowVerticalAngle = VulpineMathUtils.Clamp(
                    this._characterFollowVerticalAngle,
                    VulpineMathUtils.DegToRads(Config.Camera.CameraPitchDegreesMin),
                    VulpineMathUtils.DegToRads(Config.Camera.CameraPitchDegreesMax)
                );
        });

                // in my update loop

                this._nextCameraLookDirection.x =
                    Math.cos(this._characterFollowLateralAngle - Math.PI / 2) * Math.cos(this._characterFollowVerticalAngle);
                this._nextCameraLookDirection.y = Math.sin(this._characterFollowVerticalAngle);
                this._nextCameraLookDirection.z =
                    Math.sin(this._characterFollowLateralAngle - Math.PI / 2) * Math.cos(this._characterFollowVerticalAngle);

                this._nextCameraPosition.x =
                    this._followTargetObject!.position.x + this._nextCameraLookDirection.x * this._characterFollowDistance;
                this._nextCameraPosition.y =
                    this._followTargetObject!.position.y + this._nextCameraLookDirection.y * this._characterFollowDistance;
                this._nextCameraPosition.z =
                    this._followTargetObject!.position.z + this._nextCameraLookDirection.z * this._characterFollowDistance;

                this._cameraControls.lerpLookAt(
                    this._currentCameraPosition.x,
                    this._currentCameraPosition.y,
                    this._currentCameraPosition.z,
                    this._lastKnownTargetPosition.x,
                    this._lastKnownTargetPosition.y,
                    this._lastKnownTargetPosition.z,
                    this._nextCameraPosition.x,
                    this._nextCameraPosition.y,
                    this._nextCameraPosition.z,
                    this._followTargetObject!.position.x,
                    this._followTargetObject!.position.y + this.cameraLookAtVerticalOffset,
                    this._followTargetObject!.position.z,
                    10,
                    true
                );
                
                

                this._currentCameraLookDirection.copy(this._nextCameraLookDirection);
                this._currentCameraPosition.copy(this._nextCameraPosition);
                this._lastKnownTargetPosition.copy(this._followTargetObject!.position);

                this._cameraControls.update(deltaTimeS);

Thanks for using camera-controls.
To solve that delay, you can set 0 to the smoothness value

cameraControlsInstance.smoothTime = 0;
cameraControlsInstance.draggingSmoothTime = 0;

Also, check the third-person demo in the example section and the docs for further information.

Thank you @yomotsu ! Your library is wonderful and I'm enjoying using it.

I have sped up the lerp speed using the parameters you describe above.

I solved my other problem - the over-rotation - by capping how much the camera is allowed to rotate each frame :)

5月にあなたの美しい国に旅行します！ 長野と山梨の地域でハイキングする予定です。 あなたの文化と景色を体験することを楽しみにしています。

camera-controls に再び感謝します！

It's good to hear that.

May is one of the best months to visit! Altho, temperatures have been on the rise in recent years.
(My parents in law live in 山梨 btw...)
いい旅を。

let me close the issue then.
