# Cameras and controls
|
|
|
|
Every camera allocates generic `cameras`, `cameraMatrices`, and transform rows. Camera handles precompute the view-projection matrix when lens or transform values change, so the forward vertex shader performs four dot products instead of rebuilding the camera projection for every vertex.
|
|
|
|
## Shared lens and projection controls
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const camera = new Camera(scene, {
|
|
fov: Math.PI / 3,
|
|
near: 0.05,
|
|
far: 2000,
|
|
focalLength: 50,
|
|
aperture: 2.8,
|
|
focusDistance: 8,
|
|
});
|
|
await camera.ready;
|
|
|
|
camera.projection = "orthographic";
|
|
camera.orthoSize = 12;
|
|
camera.projection = "perspective";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`fov`, `aspect`, `near`, `far`, `orthoSize`, `focalLength`, `aperture`, `focusDistance`, and `sensorWidth` all write the camera's shared row.
|
|
|
|
## Arc rotate
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const orbit = new ArcRotateCamera(scene, {
|
|
alpha: 0,
|
|
beta: Math.PI / 3,
|
|
radius: 6,
|
|
target: mesh,
|
|
controls: {
|
|
element: canvas,
|
|
pointer: true, // left orbit, right pan, wheel zoom
|
|
controller: true, // sticks + triggers
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
await orbit.ready;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Free spectator camera
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const free = new FreeCamera(scene, {
|
|
position: [0, 1, 5],
|
|
controls: {
|
|
element: canvas,
|
|
keyboard: true, // WASD + Space/Ctrl
|
|
pointer: true, // click for pointer lock, mouse to look
|
|
controller: true,
|
|
speed: 6,
|
|
},
|
|
});
|
|
await free.ready;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Follow a character
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const follow = new FollowCamera(scene, {
|
|
target: player,
|
|
distance: 5,
|
|
height: 1.8,
|
|
smoothing: 0.12,
|
|
});
|
|
await follow.ready;
|
|
|
|
follow.target = anotherPlayer;
|
|
follow.distance = 7;
|
|
follow.stop();
|
|
follow.start();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The input and follow loops never post camera updates to core: they mutate the position, quaternion, camera, and derived matrix rows directly in shared memory.
