Camera

The camera component enables an entity to render the scene from a specific viewpoint.

The camera component can be enabled or disabled using the toggle in the top-right of the component panel. When enabled, the camera renders the scene every frame.

Properties

Property	Description
Clear Buffers	Controls how the camera's render target is cleared before rendering each frame. The camera maintains two types of buffers: a color buffer that stores the visible image and a depth buffer that stores distance information from the camera position for rendered pixels. Buffers can be cleared independently: Color: When selected, the camera explicitly clears the render target to the selected clear color before rendering the scene. Depth: When selected, the camera explicitly clears the render target's depth buffer before rendering the scene.
Clear Color	The color used to clear the camera's render target. This property is only shown when 'Clear Color Buffer' is selected.
Depth Grabpass	When selected, the camera requests that a texture containing the scene's depth map be generated.
Color Grabpass	When selected, the camera requests that a texture containing the scene's color map be generated.
Projection	The camera's projection type. Options are: Perspective Orthographic
Frustum Culling	When selected, the camera only renders mesh instances whose axis-aligned bounding boxes intersect the camera's view frustum. Otherwise, the entire scene is rendered regardless of visibility.
Field of View	The angle between the top and bottom clip planes of a perspective camera. This property is only shown when 'Projection' is set to 'Perspective'.
Ortho Height	The distance in world units between the top and bottom clip planes of an orthographic camera. This property is only shown when 'Projection' is set to 'Orthographic'.
Near Clip	The distance from the camera's viewpoint to the near clip plane in camera space.
Far Clip	The distance from the camera's viewpoint to the far clip plane in camera space.
Priority	A number that defines the order in which the engine renders camera views. Smaller numbers are rendered first.
Viewport	A rectangle that specifies the viewport for the camera's connected render target. This enables features like split-screen or picture-in-picture. Defined in normalized coordinates (0 to 1) in the following format: x: Bottom-left x coordinate y: Bottom-left y coordinate w: Width of the rectangle h: Height of the rectangle
Layers	The layers this camera will render.

Scripting Interface

You can control the camera component's properties using a script component. The camera component's scripting interface is here.
