class SceneCamera

SceneCamera is the camera node in the Simplygon scene graph. SceneCamera contains settings that specify how the camera works and it contains a number of views for that type of camera. A view is a combination of a CameraPosition and a TargetPosition. The SceneCamera can contain any number of views but every element in TargetPositions has to correspond to a tuple element in CameraPosition. TargetPositions is not needed if the camera is set to being omni directional.

Properties

Property	Description
CameraType	The camera type. Perspective - A regular camera that uses the FieldOfView. Omnidirectional - An omni directional camera view all directions from its position and ignores the TargetPositions and FieldOfView. Orthographic - Orthographic cameras render the scene in a direction determined by the vector from CameraPositions to TargetPositions, it uses OrthographicCameraPixelSize and ignores the FieldOfView and UseNormalizedCoordinates.
FieldOfView	The field of view (in radians) of the camera.
IsModified	If set, the node is new, copied, or modified by processing modules. This can be useful to track modifications in the scene graph. (Inherited from SceneNode)
IsVisible	The IsVisible flag. If set, the node is visible. (Inherited from SceneNode)
Name	The name of the SceneCamera object. (Inherited from Object)
NodeGUID	The unique id for this node. (Inherited from SceneNode)
OriginalName	The OriginalName parameter which can be used to specify the original name of a node, for debugging of merging purposes. This parameter is not copied or cloned, and is not used internally by Simplygon. (Inherited from SceneNode)
OrthographicCameraPixelSize	Specifies/Gets the length of the side of a square pixel if the camera type is Orthographic.
PixelFieldOfView	Determines the resolution by specifying the field of view per pixel (both vertically and horizontally) if the camera type is Perspective or Omnidirectional. For instance, if the camera type is Perspective and has PI/2 radians field of view (for the entire camera) and the pixel field of view is (PI/2)/512 the camera will have 512x512 pixels.
UseNormalizedCoordinates	Normalized coordinates means that the coordinates are relative to the scene: the origin is in the center of the scene and 1 unit length is the distance of the scene radius. This can be used to have cameras in front of or above the scene for instance without having to know the coordinates of the scene. If set to false, then absolute coordinates will be used instead.
