    z_far: f32
) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Specify the camera to use orthographic projection with the given height and depth. The view frustum height is +/- height/2 The view frustum width is calculated as height * viewport.width / viewport.height. The view frustum depth is z_near to z_far.

pub fn set_viewport(&mut self, viewport: Viewport) -> ThreeDResult<bool>

Set the current viewport. Returns whether or not the viewport actually changed.

pub fn set_view(
    &mut self,
    position: Vec3,
    target: Vec3,
    up: Vec3
) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Change the view of the camera. The camera is placed at the given position, looking at the given target and with the given up direction.

pub fn mirror_in_xz_plane(&mut self) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Change the camera view such that it is mirrored in the xz-plane.

pub fn in_frustum(&self, aabb: &AxisAlignedBoundingBox) -> bool

Returns whether or not the given bounding box is within the camera frustum. It returns false if it is fully outside and true if it is inside or intersects.

pub fn position_at_pixel(&self, pixel: (f32, f32)) -> Vec3

Returns the 3D position at the given pixel coordinate. The pixel coordinate must be in physical pixels, where (viewport.x, viewport.y) indicate the top left corner of the viewport and (viewport.x + viewport.width, viewport.y + viewport.height) indicate the bottom right corner.

pub fn view_direction_at_pixel(&self, pixel: (f32, f32)) -> Vec3

Returns the 3D view direction at the given pixel coordinate. The pixel coordinate must be in physical pixels, where (viewport.x, viewport.y) indicate the top left corner of the viewport and (viewport.x + viewport.width, viewport.y + viewport.height) indicate the bottom right corner.

pub fn uv_coordinates_at_pixel(&self, pixel: (f32, f32)) -> (f32, f32)

Returns the uv coordinate for the given pixel coordinate. The pixel coordinate must be in physical pixels, where (viewport.x, viewport.y) indicate the top left corner of the viewport and (viewport.x + viewport.width, viewport.y + viewport.height) indicate the bottom right corner. The returned uv coordinate are between 0 and 1 where (0,0) indicate the top left corner of the viewport and (1,1) indicate the bottom right corner.

pub fn uv_coordinates_at_position(&self, position: Vec3) -> (f32, f32)

Returns the uv coordinate for the given world position. The returned uv coordinate are between 0 and 1 where (0,0) indicate a position that maps to the top left corner of the viewport and (1,1) indicate a position that maps to the bottom right corner.

pub fn view(&self) -> &Mat4

Returns the view matrix, ie. the matrix that transforms objects from world space (as placed in the world) to view space (as seen from this camera).

pub fn projection(&self) -> &Mat4

Returns the projection matrix, ie. the matrix that projects objects in view space onto this cameras image plane.

pub fn viewport(&self) -> Viewport

Returns the viewport.

pub fn z_near(&self) -> f32

Returns the distance to the near plane of the camera frustum.

pub fn z_far(&self) -> f32

Returns the distance to the far plane of the camera frustum.

pub fn position(&self) -> &Vec3

Returns the position of this camera.

pub fn target(&self) -> &Vec3

Returns the target of this camera, ie the point that this camera looks towards.

pub fn up(&self) -> &Vec3

Returns the up direction of this camera (might not be orthogonal to the view direction).

pub fn view_direction(&self) -> Vec3

Returns the view direction of this camera, ie. the direction the camera is looking.

pub fn right_direction(&self) -> Vec3

Returns the right direction of this camera.

pub fn uniform_buffer(&self) -> &UniformBuffer

Returns an uniform buffer containing camera information which makes it easy to transfer all necessary camera information to a shader.

Use this buffer in your Program like this program.use_uniform_block(camera.uniform_buffer(), "Camera"); and add the following to your shader code:

layout (std140) uniform Camera
{
    mat4 viewProjection;
    mat4 view;
    mat4 projection;
    vec3 position;
    float padding;
} camera;

pub fn translate(&mut self, change: &Vec3) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Translate the camera by the given change while keeping the same view and up directions.

pub fn pitch(&mut self, delta: impl Into<Radians>) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Rotates the camera by the angle delta around the ‘right’ direction.

pub fn yaw(&mut self, delta: impl Into<Radians>) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Rotates the camera by the angle delta around the ‘up’ direction.

pub fn roll(&mut self, delta: impl Into<Radians>) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Rotates the camera by the angle delta around the ‘view’ direction.

pub fn rotate_around(
    &mut self,
    point: &Vec3,
    x: f32,
    y: f32
) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Rotate the camera around the given point while keeping the same distance to the point. The input x specifies the amount of rotation in the left direction and y specifies the amount of rotation in the up direction. If you want the camera up direction to stay fixed, use the rotate_around_with_fixed_up function instead.

pub fn rotate_around_with_fixed_up(
    &mut self,
    point: &Vec3,
    x: f32,
    y: f32
) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Rotate the camera around the given point while keeping the same distance to the point and the same up direction. The input x specifies the amount of rotation in the left direction and y specifies the amount of rotation in the up direction.

pub fn zoom_towards(
    &mut self,
    point: &Vec3,
    delta: f32,
    minimum_distance: f32,
    maximum_distance: f32
) -> ThreeDResult<()>

Moves the camera towards the given point by the amount delta while keeping the given minimum and maximum distance to the point.

impl Camera

pub fn pick<S: Shadable>(
    &self,
    pixel: (f32, f32),
    max_depth: f32,
    objects: &[S]
) -> ThreeDResult<Option<Vec3>>

👎 Deprecated:

Use pick function instead

Finds the closest intersection between a ray from this camera in the given pixel coordinate and the given geometries. The pixel coordinate must be in physical pixels, where (viewport.x, viewport.y) indicate the top left corner of the viewport and (viewport.x + viewport.width, viewport.y + viewport.height) indicate the bottom right corner. Returns None if no geometry was hit before the given maximum depth.
