Camera

Description

A Camera is a device through which the player views the world.

A screen space point is defined in pixels. The bottom-left of the screen is (0,0); the right-top is (pixelWidth,pixelHeight). The z position is in world units from the camera.

A viewport space point is normalized and relative to the camera. The bottom-left of the camera is (0,0); the top-right is (1,1). The z position is in world units from the camera.

A world space point is defined in global coordinates (eg. Transform.position).

Static Functions

GetAllCameras

Messages

OnPostRender	OnPostRender is called after a camera has finished rendering the scene.
OnPreCull	OnPreCull is called before a camera culls the scene.
OnPreRender	OnPreRender is called before a camera starts rendering the scene.
OnRenderImage	OnRenderImage is called after all rendering is complete to render image.
OnRenderObject	OnRenderObject is called after camera has rendered the scene.
OnWillRenderObject	OnWillRenderObject is called once for each camera if the object is visible.
