p5.Camera

A class to describe a camera for viewing a 3D sketch.

Each p5.Camera object represents a camera that views a section of 3D space. It stores information about the camera’s position, orientation, and projection.

In WebGL mode, the default camera is a p5.Camera object that can be controlled with the camera(), perspective(), ortho(), and frustum() functions. Additional cameras can be created with createCamera() and activated with setCamera().

Note: p5.Camera’s methods operate in two coordinate systems:

• The “world” coordinate system describes positions in terms of their relationship to the origin along the x-, y-, and z-axes. For example, calling myCamera.setPosition() places the camera in 3D space using "world" coordinates.
• The "local" coordinate system describes positions from the camera's point of view: left-right, up-down, and forward-backward. For example, calling myCamera.move() moves the camera along its own axes.
