Enhanced 3rd Person Camera

I will NOT be doing any feature requests or bug fixes, it is as is. I view it as complete, and I will not be updating this again. So please enjoy this mod, and I hope it makes skyrim that much better for you 

Introduction

This is a mod that will allow you to define the horizontal, vertical and zoom of your camera whilst in and out of combat. It will also change your camera in combat depending on your weapon set, stance and race to allow for a unique third person experience. I hope you enjoy this mod! :)

Enhanced 3rd Person Camera

Since the mod has now overgone a major overhaul in the 1. 0 update, you may change the camera setting either through the MCM menu, or with the Editor.

Please note, this mod is complex for a reason. It is to give the user FULL control over the camera in pretty much every situation.

Camera Settings

• The camera settings are as follows:[]Standing

  []Sneaking

  []Transformed

  Standing and Sneaking share the same weapon combinations of:[]Sword and Shield

  []Dual Wield

  []Two Handed

  []Unarmed

  []Spells and Staves

  []Spell Sword

• Crossbow

  Whilst the Transformed will only have general and combat cameras.

  To know which weapon combination come under which section please refer to the grid below:

  Ss = Sword and shield, Dw = Dual Wield, Hh = 2 Handed, Un = Unarmed, Sas = Spell and Staff, Sps = Spell sword, Bw = Bow, Cw = Crossbow.

  1 <weapon> means one-handed whilst 2 <weapon> means two handed, Grayed-out section denotes either the left or right hand.

  Alternatively, you could just enable the combat style notifications in the options menu and that will tell you for your currently equipped items.

  Shoulder Swapping

  This is simply, you press a button that is rebindable in the option menu, and it'll switch the view to the other shoulder.

  Real-time Editor

  Once in the mode, you will be notified, the controls are as follows:
