Method
Places a standard 3D camera in space.
Transform
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Position X | Move its position along the x-axis in local space. |
| Position Y | Move its position along the y-axis in local space. |
| Position Z | Move its position along the z-axis in local space. |
| Rotation Heading | Rotate the object about the x-axis. |
| Rotation Pitch | Rotate the object about the y-axis. |
| Rotation Bank | Rotate the object about the z-axis. |
| Scale X | Scale along the x-axis. |
| Scale Y | Scale along the y-axis. |
| Scale Z | Scale along the z-axis. |
Inherit Transform Channels
Toggle which transform channels should be inherited. By default, all are on.
Attributes
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Zoom | The zoom, of the camera. Increasing the size, increases the FOV. |
| Field Of View Y | The angle to modify the FOV with. Only functions with Use Field OF View Y enabled. |
| Use Field Of View Y | Measure the FOV using an angle along the Y axis and the scene Aspect Ratio. |
| Use Field Of View Y As X | Modify the FOV using an angle along the X axis instead of Y. Only functions with Use Field OF View Y enabled. |
| Focal Plane Distance | The distance from the camera that is sharp, when utilising Depth of Field. Requires a Depth of Field Post-FX to be used. |
| Focal Range | The range around the focal plane that is sharp. Requires a Depth of Field Post-FX to be used. |
| Focal Bluriness | How blurry the focal point is. Requires a Depth of Field Post-FX to be used. |
| Near Clip | The closest distance that will be rendered. NB: Reducing this value too low can reduce the accuracy of aspects of the render. |
| Far Clip | The furthest distance that will be rendered by this camera. NB: Increasing this value too high, without increasing the Near Clip, can reduce the accuracy of aspects of the render. |
| Priority | Change the priority of the camera. If two cameras have the same priority, the highest camera in the nodegraph is used. |
| Orthographic | Toggle the camera to be an orthographic camera with parallel perspective. |
| Lock Aspect Ratio | Locks the aspect ratio of the camera to a define ratio, as opposed to those inherited from the project settings |
| Aspect Ratio | Defines the aspect ratio, as a decimal when locking the aspect ratio. |
| Film Offset X | Offsets the camera view across the directional plane of the film in the local X axis. |
| Film Offset Y | Offsets the camera view across the directional plane of the film in the local Y axis. |
Inputs
| Name | Description | Typical Node Input |
|---|---|---|
| Included Objects | Select nodes to be included in the final rendering from this camera. | 3D Object |
| Excluded Objects | Select nodes to be omitted in the final rendering from this camera. | 3D Object |
| Transform Modifier | Links all transform properties to the input node. | Null |
| Target Node | Always faces the x-axis towards the inputs anchor point. | Null |
| Local Transform Override | Override the transformation values of the node, relative to its parent. | Null |
Outputs
Nodes Parented to this node will generally follow the standard parent-child relationship with nodes in Notch, with a couple exceptions:
- Most Post-FX nodes will only run when viewed through a camera when connected to the camera.
- The Camera Focus Target controls the focus position and attributes or the camera.
