In early games, this was considered an Acceptable Breaks from Reality, as rendering something that wasn't in view the majority of the time would be a waste of limited hardware resources. Also, many older raycasting engines had to purposefully limit vertical camera rotation to well under 45 in order to minimize perspective distortion artifacts. However, as hardware has become more powerful and software more sophisticated, this trope can become particularly jarring. Often, even games that have the option of first-person and third-person views, like the 3D The Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, will render the player character model in third-person but have it disappear in first-person.
Another reason is that most GPUs and graphics APIs tend to clip geometry that's closer to the edge of the screen, hence the reason why in most cases using the same third-person model for a first-person camera would result in visual artifacts. Modders who write first-person camera hacks for third-person games such as Grand Theft Auto would disable the head model to keep it from displaying stray polygons or getting in the way of the camera.

Also, the reason for using a separate view model is that animations and weapon or item positions on a third-person model tend to look jittery or awkward when viewed on a first-person camera, as well as so that models that are close to or held by the player, eg. guns, can be given more detail. The latter also goes with racing simulators which use separate, more intricately detailed interior models whenever a cockpit camera is used; the interior on a third-person car model is usually of lower quality, or in some cases do not exist at all (especially with early racing games where the first-person "interior" is just a two-dimensional sprite).
To combat this, some FPS games have begun to include more and more model parts of your body. For example, if you go to open a door, you'll actually see an animation of a hand reaching out and turning the handle. You sometimes will also see your body in cutscenes, such as if the player is knocked down by an explosion and you briefly see your legs as you're bodily thrown back. However, as soon as the cutscene is over, and you have control of your character once again, you'll find your legs mysteriously absent once more. As a consequence this trope is rather less jarring if used in conjunction with Unbroken First-Person Perspective, as at least the third-person cutscenes don't remind players of its presence.
For some reason the first person mode is really messed up, aiming a bow in third person is also quite strange.I have tried a few first person enhancement mods and in the end disabled them all, I also installed the XP32 mod, but the problem still persists even after disabling all those mods.
I had the exact same problem. To add onto what akselmo said, it is indeed Immersive First Person View which causes the trouble. The problem is that you failed one simple but crucial step before uninstalling - making sure you were not in first person view. The fix is simple: load up the save with IFPV then switch to third person view and save and quit, then remove IFPV. That's it. It even says to do this on the nexus page, something which I also initially missed.
Make sure the DLL file from Data/SKSE/Plugins/FirstPersonPlugin.dll got removed properly. Make sure you are not using Joy of perspective skeleton. Make sure you were not in my mod's first person view on that save game when you uninstalled.
So you may need to reactivate the mod, reset the mods settings to default/press the uninstall button, enable the normal first person view or third person view before saving and then quit the game and uninstall the mod.
A first-person shooter (like Robot Dynamite) needs a first-person character. In contrast to a full third-person humanoid character, all the player can see is the gun and possibly part of hands and arms of the character. However, if it is a multiplayer game, or even a single player game in which one can look in a mirror or a closed-circuit video, the full third-person humanoid character is visible.
It is tempting to use the third-person character and place a first-person camera in a location corresponding to the character's eyes and use that for the first-person view. You can try that if you like, but it generally does not work very well. This is one of the many situations in games and movies where absolute realism does not translate well to the viewer's or player's experience. In fact, conceptually, the first-person character is not an in-game object. Instead, it is really a UI or HUD, with the arms and weapon part of the interface to show where the character is shooting (and what the character is shooting with). For realism, this is one of the few user interfaces rendered as 3D.
Therefore, the best practice is to have two character meshes: a first-person character mesh consisting of nothing but arms holding a weapon, and a full third-person humanoid character mesh. Visibility settings ensure that only the arms are visible to the player, while only the humanoid is visible to everybody else. Of course, there are complications: one wants both first- and third-person guns to look like they are firing in the same direction and at the same target, while at the same time, you have to ensure the player does not see that the arms are really disconnected from the body, and the player should easily see what kind of gun he is carrying.
At this point, you should see a basic level in the main viewport window of the UE4 editor. The level consists only of a square floor platform and a few assets like the directional light, a sphere reflection capture, a sky light, a player start position actor, an atmospheric fog actor, and in the background, a sky sphere that shows a basic daytime sky. We now bring in a third-person character to start out with.Go back to the Epic Games Launcher. We need to download the Animation Starter Pack. If you already have that, skip to step 8.
In the Top Menu, select Unreal Engine.
Next, in the Left Sidebar menu, select Marketplace.
In the search bar at the top right of the window, type Animation Starter Pack in the white box.

Click the yellow Shopping Cart icon on the top right next to the search bar.
Then, click the yellow Check Out button and follow the instructions to download it.
Now select Unreal Engine in the Top Menu, and then select Library from the left-sidebar menu.
Scroll down to the Vault and find the Animation Starter Pack.
Click the yellow Add to Project button.
In the popup, find the FirstPersonCharacter project and select it.
Click the Add to Project button at the bottom of the popup. Wait a minute for the pack to be added.
Confirm it was added by returning to the FirstPersonCharacter project in the Unreal Engine 4 Editor and noting that the AnimStarterPack folder is in the Content Browser, in the Content folder.
Import the First-Person Mannequin Arms and a GunIn addition to the mannequin, we need the first-person arms, so we import that now.In the main window of the Unreal Engine 4 editor, find the Content Browser panel which is, by default, at the bottom-left of the window.
Click the green Add New button.
Select the first menu item: Add Feature or Content Pack...
In the Add Content to Project menu, select the Blueprint Feature tab.
Select the First Person feature below the tab.
Click the green Add to Project button.
Close the popup.
Confirm the feature was added: in the Content Browser, in the top level Content folder, you should have three new folders: FirstPerson, FirstPersonBP, and Geometry.
Save the default blank level: click the floppy disk icon in the top menubar that says "Save Current". Type Overview where asked to enter a name.
Click the Save button to the right of the level name.
Quit the Unreal Engine 4 editor by selecting File from the top menu, and then Exit.

Brink (stylized as BRINK) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Splash Damage and published by Bethesda Softworks for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in May 2011.[2]
Brink has Steamworks integration, including Valve Anti-Cheat.[5] It runs on id Tech 4 and has an updated rendering framework with improved support for multiple CPU cores.[6] Brink is a first-person shooter with a strong focus on parkour-style movement. Online multiplayer servers hold up to 16 players; players can play cooperatively or competitively, or against artificially-intelligent bots.
All video games need to show the events of the game to the player in some way, and most do this with either a first-person or third-person camera view. And while the main differences between these styles are clear, there are a lot of nuances between how first-person and third-person games work.
Keep in mind that first-person and third-person views mainly apply to 3D games, as 2D games typically feature a static camera angle. While you could technically consider 2D games third-person, it's not really the same as a third-person camera in 3D titles. See our comparison of 2D and 3D games for more details. 2ff7e9595c
