Camera

Abstract base class for cameras. This class should always be inherited when you build a new camera.

Constructor

Camera()

Creates a new Camera. Note that this class is not intended to be called directly; you probably want a PerspectiveCamera or OrthographicCamera instead.

Properties

See the base Object3D class for common properties.

# .controlSettings : ControlSettings

Camera control settings used to assign application controls.

# .ignoreShadowLayers : Boolean

Ignore camera layers when rendering objects into the shadow map. Used internally by SSR pass. Default is false.

# .isCamera : Boolean

Read-only flag to check if a given object is of type Camera.

# .layers : Layers

The layers that the camera is a member of. This is an inherited property from Object3D.

Objects must share at least one layer with the camera to be seen when the camera's viewpoint is rendered.

# .matrixWorldInverse : Matrix4

This is the inverse of matrixWorld. MatrixWorld contains the Matrix which has the world transform of the Camera.

# .projectionMatrix : Matrix4

This is the matrix which contains the projection.

# .projectionMatrixInverse : Matrix4

The inverse of projectionMatrix.

# .viewportFit : Object

An object with viewport fit settings:

type

Viewport fit type, see here for more info.

initialAspect

Initial viewport aspect ratio.

Methods

See the base Object3D class for common methods.

# .clone(recursive : Boolean) → Camera

Return a new camera with the same properties as this one.

# .copy(source : Camera, recursive : Boolean) → this

Copy the properties from the source camera into this one.

# .getWorldDirection(target : Vector3) → Vector3

target — the result will be copied into this Vector3.

Returns a Vector3 representing the world space direction in which the camera is looking. (Note: A camera looks down its local, negative z-axis).

Puzzles

There are numerous camera puzzles to manage your camera with no coding.
