Detailed Description

Scene Node which is a (controllable) camera.

The whole scene will be rendered from the cameras point of view. Because the ICameraSceneNode is a SceneNode, it can be attached to any other scene node, and will follow its parents movement, rotation and so on.

Member Function Documentation

◆ bindTargetAndRotation()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::bindTargetAndRotation ( bool bound )

pure virtual

Binds the camera scene node's rotation to its target position and vice versa, or unbinds them.

When bound, calling setRotation() will update the camera's target position to be along its +Z axis, and likewise calling setTarget() will update its rotation so that its +Z axis will point at the target point. FPS camera use this binding by default; other cameras do not.

Parameters

bound True to bind the camera's scene node rotation and targeting, false to unbind them.

◆ OnEvent()

virtual bool jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::OnEvent ( const SEvent & event )

overridepure virtual

It is possible to send mouse and key events to the camera.

Most cameras may ignore this input, but camera scene nodes which are created for example with ISceneManager::addCameraSceneNodeMaya or ISceneManager::addCameraSceneNodeFPS, may want to get this input for changing their position, look at target or whatever.

Implements jpp::IEventReceiver.

◆ serializeAttributes()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::serializeAttributes	(	io::IAttributes *	out,
		io::SAttributeReadWriteOptions *	options = `0`

◆ setNearValue()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setNearValue ( f32 zn )

pure virtual

Sets the value of the near clipping plane. (default: 1.0f)

Also changes projection matrix and resets IsOrthogonal flag.

Parameters

zn	New z near value.

◆ setProjectionMatrix()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setProjectionMatrix	(	const core::matrix4 &	projection,
		bool	isOrthogonal = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Sets the projection matrix of the camera.

The core::matrix4 class has some methods to build a projection matrix. e.g: core::matrix4::buildProjectionMatrixPerspectiveFovLH. Note that the matrix will only stay as set by this method until one of the following Methods are called: setNearValue, setFarValue, setAspectRatio, setFOV. NOTE: The frustum is not updated before render() is called unless you explicitly call updateMatrices()

Parameters

projection	The new projection matrix of the camera.
isOrthogonal	Set this to true if the matrix is an orthogonal one (e.g. from matrix4::buildProjectionMatrixOrtho).

◆ setRotation()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setRotation ( const core::vector3df & rotation )

overridepure virtual

Sets the rotation of the node.

This only modifies the relative rotation of the node. If the camera's target and rotation are bound (

See also: bindTargetAndRotation() ) then calling this will also change the camera's target to match the rotation.

Parameters

rotation New rotation of the node in degrees.

Reimplemented from jpp::scene::ISceneNode.

◆ setTarget()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setTarget ( const core::vector3df & pos )

pure virtual

Sets the look at target of the camera.

If the camera's target and rotation are bound (

See also: bindTargetAndRotation() ) then calling this will also change the camera's scene node rotation to match the target. Note that setTarget uses the current absolute position internally, so if you changed setPosition since last rendering you must call updateAbsolutePosition before using this function.

Parameters

pos	Look at target of the camera, in world co-ordinates.

◆ setUpVector()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setUpVector ( const core::vector3df & pos )

pure virtual

Sets the up vector of the camera.

Parameters

pos	New upvector of the camera.

◆ setViewMatrixAffector()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::setViewMatrixAffector ( const core::matrix4 & affector )

pure virtual

Sets a custom view matrix affector.

The matrix passed here, will be multiplied with the view matrix when it gets updated. This allows for custom camera setups like, for example, a reflection camera.

Parameters

affector The affector matrix.

◆ updateMatrices()

virtual void jpp::scene::ICameraSceneNode::updateMatrices ( )

pure virtual

Updates the view matrix and frustum without uploading the matrix to the driver.

You need this when you want an up-to-date camera view matrix & frustum before the render() call. Usually you should call updateAbsolutePosition() before calling this. Despite it's function name, the projection matrix is not touched.
