Camera

moderngl_window.scene.Camera

Simple camera class containing projection.

# create a camera
camera = Camera(fov=60.0, aspect_ratio=1.0, near=1.0, far=100.0)

# Get the current camera matrix as numpy array
print(camera.matrix)

# Get projection matrix as numpy array
print(camera.projection.matrix)

Methods

Camera.__init__(fov=60.0, aspect_ratio=1.0, near=1.0, far=100.0)

Initialize camera using a specific projection

Keyword Arguments:

• fov (float) – Field of view

• aspect_ratio (float) – Aspect ratio

• near (float) – Near plane

• far (float) – Far plane

Camera.set_position(x, y, z) → None

Set the 3D position of the camera.

Parameters:

• x (float) – x position

• y (float) – y position

• z (float) – z position

Camera.set_rotation(yaw, pitch) → None

Set the rotation of the camera.

Parameters:

• yaw (float) – yaw rotation

• pitch (float) – pitch rotation

Camera.look_at(vec=None, pos=None) → ndarray

Look at a specific point

Either vec or pos needs to be supplied.

Keyword Arguments:

• vec (pyrr.Vector3) – position

• pos (tuple/list) – list of tuple [x, y, x] / (x, y, x)

Returns:

Camera matrix

Return type:

numpy.ndarray
