translate
(
xIncrement
,
yIncrement
,
zIncrement
,
relativeTo
)
Moves the camera forward by
xIncrement
along the x-axis,
yIncrement
along the y-axis, and
zIncrement
along the z-
axis.
The
relativeTo
parameter is optional. It determines how
arguments are interpreted. The possible values are as follows:
#self
: the default. Increments are applied relative to the
camera’s local coordinate system.
#parent
: increments are relative to the camera’s parent’s
coordinate system.
#world
: increments are relative to the world coordinate
system. Equivalent to
# parent
if parent is the world.
node
(model, light, camera, or group): increments are relative to
the coordinate system of the argument.
Nothing
translate
(
direction
Vector
,
relativeTo
)
Moves the camera
directionVector.length()
in the
direction of the directionVector.
The relativeTo argument is optional and defaults to
#self
.
Nothing
translate(
x
,
y
,
z
,
relativeTo
)
Moves the camera distance
x
along the x-axis, distance
y
along
the y-axis, and distance
z
along the z-axis.
The
relativeTo
argument is optional and defaults to
#self
.
This command can also be written as
translate(vector( x , y , z ) relativeTo )
.
Nothing
rotate(
x
,
y
,
z
,
relativeTo
)
Rotates the camera by
x
degrees around the x-axis, y degrees
around the y-axis, and z degrees around the z-axis.
The
relativeTo
argument is optional and defaults to
#self
.
If included, it defines the coordinate space of the axes.
This command can also be written as
rotate
(vector( x , y , z ) relativeTo )
Nothing
rotate (
position
,
axis
,
angle
,
relativeTo
)
Rotates the camera around the axis vector in the specified
position the specified number of degrees. The
relativeTo
argument is optional and defaults to
#self
.
Nothing
pointAt(
world
Position
,
worldUp
)
Rotates the camera until it points at the world-relative position
worldPosition
. The optional
worldUp
argument indicates
the position of the camera’s Up axis.
Both the object-relative axes are defined by the
pointAtOrientation
property. Default values are an
object-relative forward direction of
vector (0,0,-1)
and an object-relative up direction of
vector (0,1,0)
.
Nothing
getWorld
Transform()
Calculates and returns a transform that converts object-relative
positions for this camera into world-relative positions. A transform object
