◆ adjustView()

void Camera::adjustView	(	const AABB &	aabb,
		const vec3 &	dir,
		const vec3 &	up,
		real	bias = `1.0f`

Adjusts the camera position so that the given aabb can be properly viewed.

Parameters

aabb	The AABB (in world coords) that should be visible from the newly computed camera position.
dir	The direction (in world coords) along which the camera should be displaced to view the given AABB.
up	The vector that defines the `up` direction (in world coords). Used to properly compute the new camera matrix.
bias	A bias factor used to adjust the computed camera distance from the given AABB. Values between 0 and 1 make the camera closer to the AABB center, values greater than 1 position the camera further away.

◆ computeNearFarOptimizedProjMatrix()

void Camera::computeNearFarOptimizedProjMatrix ( const Sphere & scene_bounding_sphere )

The near and far clipping planes are adjusted to fit the provided scene_bounding_sphere.

Optimizing the near and far clipping planes results in an optimized usage of the z-buffer with the consequence of minimizing possible z-fighting artifacts, thus enhancing the rendering quality.

Note: Optimizing the near and far clipping planes might slightly impact the rendering performances if the scene contains a huge number of objects.; At the moment the near and far clipping planes optimization is available only when using a projection matrix set up by setProjectionPerspective() or setProjectionOrtho*().

Parameters

viewp_x	The x position of the point defining the ray
viewp_y	The y position of the point defining the ray

Note: <viewp_x,viewp_y> is considered to be a point in viewport coordinate. In accordance to the OpenGL conventions the viewport coordinates have origin on the bottom left corner of the viewport, with the Y axis pointing upwards. Most GUI libraries define the the orgin at the top left corner of the window and Y axis pointing downwards. You can convert such coordinates to OpenGL ones using the folloviewp_g simple formula: "opengl_y = window_height - coord_y".

◆ setProjectionFrustum()

void Camera::setProjectionFrustum	(	real	left,
		real	right,
		real	bottom,
		real	top,
		real	znear,
		real	zfar
	)

Produces a perspective projection matrix.

The <left, bottom, zfar> and <right, top, znear> parameters specify the points on the near clipping plane that are mapped to the lower-left and upper-right corners of the viewport, respectively, assuming that the eye is located at (0,0,0). The zfar parameter specifies the location of the far clipping plane. Both znear and zfar must be positive.

This function is more general that setProjectionPerspective() as it's capable of generating off-axis projections, while setProjectionPerspective() only produces symmetrical (on-axis) projections. Since setProjectionFrustum() is more general than setProjectionPerspective(), you can use it in cases where setProjectionPerspective() can't be used. Some examples include shadows projection, tiled renderings, and stereo views.

◆ unproject() [1/2]

bool Camera::unproject	(	const vec3 &	in_viewp,
		vec4 &	out_world
	)		const

Unprojects a vector from viewport coordinates to world coordinates.

Parameters

in_viewp	The viewport coordinates point to be projected. Note that, in accordance to OpenGL conventions, the viewport coordinates have the Y axis pointing upwards and origin at the bottom left corner of the viewport.
out_world	The world coordinates of the projected point.

Note: The z coordinate of in_viewp determines the position of the projected point along the ray passing through in_viewp. If z equals 0 then out_world will lay on the near clipping plane, if z equals 1 then out_world will lay on the far clipping plane.

◆ unproject() [2/2]

bool Camera::unproject ( std::vector< vec3 > & points ) const

Unprojects a set of points.

◆ viewMatrix()

const mat4& vl::Camera::viewMatrix ( ) const

inline

Returns the Camera's view matrix (inverse of the modeling matrix).

This is what you would pass to OpenGL with "glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); glLoadMatrix(camera.viewMatrix().ptr());"

Remarks: The modelingMatrix() bring points from camera space to world space, where the viewMatrix() brings points from world space to camera space.
