Viewport To World Point

Menu Path : Operator > Camera > Viewport To World Point

The Viewport To World Point Operator transforms a position from viewport space to world space. The input viewport space is normalized and relative to the camera. The bottom-left of the camera is (0,0) and the top-right is (1,1). The z position is in world units from the camera.

Note that Viewport To World Point transforms an x-y screen position into a x-y-z position in 3D space.

Provide the function with a vector where the x-y components of the vector are the screen coordinates and the z component is the distance of the resulting plane from the camera.
