public static function CalculateFrustumPlanes(camera: Camera): Plane[];
public static Plane[] CalculateFrustumPlanes(Camera camera);
public static def CalculateFrustumPlanes(camera as Camera) as Plane[]

Description

Calculates frustum planes.

This function takes given camera's view frustum and returns six planes that form it.

See Also: Plane, GeometryUtility.TestPlanesAABB.

	// Creates 6 planes that represent the camera frustum.

public static function CalculateFrustumPlanes(worldToProjectionMatrix: Matrix4x4): Plane[];
public static Plane[] CalculateFrustumPlanes(Matrix4x4 worldToProjectionMatrix);
public static def CalculateFrustumPlanes(worldToProjectionMatrix as Matrix4x4) as Plane[]

Description

Calculates frustum planes.

This function returns six planes of a frustum defined by given view & projection matrix.
