Properties

controller

• controller: CameraController

Get or set the motion controller assigned to this camera. By default, this will be a static controller, whose only function is to provide a reasonable default view for a given scene.

Inherited from

Camera.controller

---

far

• far: number

Distance to the view frustum far clipping plane.

Remarks

The value must be larger than near and and large enough to include the desired maximum viewing distance, which typically is some multiple of the scene size. Camera controllers will automatically adjust this value whenever a new scene is assigned to their view, so setting it manually is generally not required. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_frustum for more details.

fieldOfView

• fieldOfView: number

Field of view expressed as the vertical viewing angle in degrees for pinhole cameras, or vertical aperature dimension in meters for orthographic cameras.

generation

• Readonly generation: number

hasChanged

• Readonly hasChanged: boolean

---

kind

• Readonly kind: "pinhole" | "orthographic"

Camera type.

Inherited from

Camera.kind

---

near

• near: number

Distance to the view frustum near clipping plane.

Remarks

The value must be larger than 0 and preferably as large as possible without creating undesired clipping effects near the camera. Camera controllers will automatically adjust this value whenever a new scene is assigned to their view, so setting it manually is generally not required. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_frustum for more details.
