alphaSearch playground for alpha
Defines the rotation angle of the camera along the longitudinal axis.
animationsSearch playground for animations
Gets a list of Animations associated with the node
betaSearch playground for beta
Defines the rotation angle of the camera along the latitudinal axis.
camera

Define the current rotation the camera is rotating to
check
Defines whether the camera should check collision with the objects oh the scene.
collision
Defines the collision radius of the camera. This simulates a sphere around the camera.
custom

Eg. display another camera view on a TV in the main scene This is pretty helpful if you wish to make a camera render to a texture you could reuse somewhere else in the scene. (Eg. security camera)
To change the final output target of the camera, camera.outputRenderTarget should be used instead (eg. webXR renders to a render target corresponding to an HMD)
fovSearch playground for fov
Field Of View is set in Radians. (default is 0.8)
fov
fovMode sets the camera frustum bounds to the viewport bounds. (default is FOVMODE_VERTICAL_FIXED)
idSearch playground for id

output
When set, the camera will render to this render target instead of the default canvas
If the desire is to use the output of a camera as a texture in the scene consider using camera.customRenderTargets instead

panning
Defines the value of the inertia used during panning. 0 would mean stop inertia and one would mean no deceleration at all.

Static Force
Defines if by default attaching controls should prevent the default javascript event to continue.
Static Readonly ORTHOGRAPHIC_
This helps creating camera with an orthographic mode. Orthographic is commonly used in engineering as a means to produce object specifications that communicate dimensions unambiguously, each line of 1 unit length (cm, meter..whatever) will appear to have the same length everywhere on the drawing. This allows the drafter to dimension only a subset of lines and let the reader know that other lines of that length on the drawing are also that length in reality. Every parallel line in the drawing is also parallel in the object.
Static Readonly PERSPECTIVE_
This is the default projection mode used by the cameras. It helps recreating a feeling of perspective and better appreciate depth. This is the best way to simulate real life cameras.

Static Readonly RIG_
This specifies there is no need for a camera rig. Basically only one eye is rendered corresponding to the camera.

is
Check whether a mesh is part of the current active mesh list of the camera
Parameters
mesh: Mesh
Defines the mesh to check
Returns boolean
true if active, false otherwise
is
Checks if a cullable object (mesh...) is in the camera frustum Unlike isInFrustum this checks the full bounding box
Parameters
target: ICullable
The object to check
Returns boolean
true if the object is in frustum otherwise false
is
Is this node a descendant of the given node? The function will iterate up the hierarchy until the ancestor was found or no more parents defined
Parameters
ancestor: Node
defines the parent node to inspect
Returns boolean
a boolean indicating if this node is a descendant of the given node
is
Gets a boolean indicating if the node has been disposed
Returns boolean
true if the node was disposed
is
Is this node enabled? If the node has a parent, all ancestors will be checked and false will be returned if any are false (not enabled), otherwise will return true
Parameters
Optional checkAncestors: boolean
indicates if this method should check the ancestors. The default is to check the ancestors. If set to false, the method will return the value of this node without checking ancestors
Returns boolean
whether this node (and its parent) is enabled
is
Checks if a cullable object (mesh...) is in the camera frustum This checks the bounding box center. See isCompletelyInFrustum for a full bounding check
Parameters
target: ICullable
The object to check
Optional checkRigCameras: boolean
If the rig cameras should be checked (eg. with webVR camera both eyes should be checked) (Default: false)
Returns boolean
true if the object is in frustum otherwise false
is
Is this camera ready to be used/rendered
Parameters
Optional completeCheck: boolean
defines if a complete check (including post processes) has to be done (false by default)
Returns boolean
true if the camera is ready
mark
Flag the node as dirty (Forcing it to update everything)
Parameters
Optional _property: string
helps children apply precise "dirtyfication"
Returns Node
this node
rebuild
Rebuilds angles (alpha, beta) and radius from the give position and target
Returns void
remove
restore
Restored camera state. You must call storeState() first.
Returns boolean
true if restored and false otherwise
serializeSearch playground for serialize
Serialiaze the camera setup to a json representation
Returns any
the JSON representation
serialize
Serialize animation ranges into a JSON compatible object
Returns any
serialization object
set
Set the enabled state of this node
Parameters
value: boolean
defines the new enabled state
Returns void
set
Sets the Y-up to camera up-vector rotation matrix, and the up-vector to Y-up rotation matrix.
Returns void
set
Use a position to define the current camera related information like alpha, beta and radius
Parameters
position: Vector3
Defines the position to set the camera at
Returns void
set
Defines the target the camera should look at. This will automatically adapt alpha beta and radius to fit within the new target. Please note that setting a target as a mesh will disable panning.
Parameters
target: AbstractMesh | Vector3
Defines the new target as a Vector or a mesh
Optional toBoundingCenter: boolean
In case of a mesh target, defines whether to target the mesh position or its bounding information center
Optional allowSamePosition: boolean
If false, prevents reapplying the new computed position if it is identical to the current one (optim)
Optional cloneAlphaBetaRadius: boolean
If true, replicate the current setup (alpha, beta, radius) on the new target
Returns void
store
Stores the current state of the camera (alpha, beta, radius and target)
Returns Camera
the camera itself
to
Gets a string representation of the camera useful for debug purpose.
Parameters
Optional fullDetails: boolean
Defines that a more verbose level of logging is required
Returns string
the string representation
unfreeze
Unfreeze the projection matrix if it has previously been freezed by freezeProjectionMatrix.
Returns void
updateSearch playground for update
Update the camera state according to the different inputs gathered during the frame.
Returns void
zoom
Zooms on a mesh to be at the min distance where we could see it fully in the current viewport.
Parameters
Optional meshes: AbstractMesh[]
Defines the mesh to zoom on
Optional doNotUpdateMaxZ: boolean
Defines whether or not maxZ should be updated whilst zooming on the mesh (this can happen if the mesh is big and the maxradius pretty small for instance)
Returns void
