Create Camera Info

The Create Camera Info node builds a camera information structure for 3D rendering. It supports three modes for defining the camera: orbit (yaw/pitch/distance around a target), look_at (explicit world position), and quaternion (position plus rotation). The coordinate system is right-handed with Y as the up axis.

Inputs

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`mode`	How to define the camera: orbit angles, an explicit position, or a position + quaternion.	COMBO	Yes	`"orbit"` `"look_at"` `"quaternion"`
`target_x`	Look-at point (orbit pivot / aim). In orbit mode, move it to pan/translate the whole camera. Ignored in quaternion mode. Defaults to the origin. (default: 0.0)	FLOAT	No	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`target_y`	Y component of the target point. (default: 0.0)	FLOAT	No	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`target_z`	Z component of the target point. (default: 0.0)	FLOAT	No	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`roll`	Camera roll about the view axis, in degrees. (default: 0.0)	FLOAT	No	-180.0 to 180.0
`fov`	Vertical field of view in degrees. (default: 35.0)	FLOAT	No	1.0 to 120.0
`zoom`	Digital zoom (focal-length multiplier). Values greater than 1 zoom in without moving the camera. (default: 1.0)	FLOAT	No	0.01 to 100.0
`camera_type`	Projection used by Render Splat: perspective (foreshortening) or orthographic (parallel). (default: “perspective”)	COMBO	No	`"perspective"` `"orthographic"`

Mode-Specific Parameters

When mode is set to "orbit", the following parameters become available:

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`yaw`	Horizontal rotation angle around the target. (default: 35.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-360.0 to 360.0
`pitch`	Vertical rotation angle around the target. (default: 30.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-89.0 to 89.0
`distance`	Camera distance from the target. (default: 4.0)	FLOAT	Yes	0.01 to 1000.0

When mode is set to "look_at", the following parameters become available:

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`position_x`	Camera position in world space (right-handed, Y-up). (default: 4.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`position_y`	Y component of the camera position. (default: 4.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`position_z`	Z component of the camera position. (default: 4.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1000.0 to 1000.0

When mode is set to "quaternion", the following parameters become available:

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Required	Range
`position_x`	Camera position in world space (right-handed, Y-up). (default: 4.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`position_y`	Y component of the camera position. (default: 4.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`position_z`	Z component of the camera position. (default: 4.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1000.0 to 1000.0
`quat_x`	X component of the camera world-rotation quaternion. (default: 0.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1.0 to 1.0
`quat_y`	Y component of the camera world-rotation quaternion. (default: 0.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1.0 to 1.0
`quat_z`	Z component of the camera world-rotation quaternion. (default: 0.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1.0 to 1.0
`quat_w`	Camera world-rotation quaternion (three.js: looks down local -Z). Normalized for you. (default: 1.0)	FLOAT	Yes	-1.0 to 1.0

Note: The target_x, target_y, and target_z parameters are ignored when mode is set to "quaternion". In "orbit" mode, these target parameters define the pivot point around which the camera orbits.
