Description

OnPreCull is called before a camera culls the scene.

Culling determines which objects are visible to the camera. OnPreCull is called just before this process.

This function is called only if the script is attached to the camera and is enabled.

If you want to change camera's viewing parameters (e.g. fieldOfView or just transform), this is the place to do it. Visibility of scene objects will be determined based on camera's parameters after OnPreCull.

	// Attach this to a camera.
	// Inverts the vie of the camera so everything rendered by it, is flipped
	// This will only work on  Unity - PRO
	
	function OnPreCull () {
		camera.ResetWorldToCameraMatrix ();
		camera.ResetProjectionMatrix ();
		camera.projectionMatrix = camera.projectionMatrix * Matrix4x4.Scale(Vector3 (1, -1, 1));
	}
	// Set it to true so we can watch the flipped Objects
	function OnPreRender () {
		GL.SetRevertBackfacing (true);
	}
	
	// Set it to false again because we don't want to affect all other cameras.
	function OnPostRender () {
		GL.SetRevertBackfacing (false);
	}
