Camera Node

Description

Provides access to various parameters of the Camera currently being used for rendering. This is comprised of values the Camera's GameObject, such as Position and Direction, as well as various projection parameters.

Unity Render Pipelines Support

• Universal Render Pipeline

The High Definition Render Pipeline does not support this Node.

Ports

Name	Direction	Type	Binding	Description
Position	Output	Vector 3	None	Position of the Camera's GameObject in world space
Direction	Output	Vector 3	None	The Camera's forward vector direction
Orthographic	Output	Float	None	Returns 1 if the Camera is orthographic, otherwise 0
Near Plane	Output	Float	None	The Camera's near plane distance
Far Plane	Output	Float	None	The Camera's far plane distance
Z Buffer Sign	Output	Float	None	Returns -1 when using a reversed Z Buffer, otherwise 1
Width	Output	Float	None	The Camera's width if orthographic
Height	Output	Float	None	The Camera's height if orthographic

Generated Code Example

The following example code represents one possible outcome of this node.

float3 _Camera_Position = _WorldSpaceCameraPos;
float3 _Camera_Direction = -1 * mul(UNITY_MATRIX_M, transpose(mul(UNITY_MATRIX_I_M, UNITY_MATRIX_I_V)) [2].xyz);
float _Camera_Orthographic = unity_OrthoParams.w;
float _Camera_NearPlane = _ProjectionParams.y;
float _Camera_FarPlane = _ProjectionParams.z;
float _Camera_ZBufferSign = _ProjectionParams.x;
float _Camera_Width = unity_OrthoParams.x;
float _Camera_Height = unity_OrthoParams.y;
