Inspector
Controls Tab
The Camera3D Inspector includes six tabs along the top. The first tab, called the Controls tab,
contains some of the most fundamental camera settings, including the camera’s clipping plains,
field of view, focal length, and stereoscopic properties. Some tabs are not displayed until a
required connection is made to the Camera 3D node.
Projection Type
The Projection Type menu is used to select between Perspective and Orthographic cameras.
Generally, real-world cameras are perspective cameras. An orthographic camera uses parallel
orthographic projection, a technique where the view plane is perpendicular to the viewing
direction. This produces a parallel camera output that is undistorted by perspective.
Orthographic cameras present controls only for the near and far clipping planes, and a control
to set the viewing scale.
