WasmGPU.math.mat4.lookAt

Summary

WasmGPU.math.mat4.lookAt builds a right-handed view matrix from eye, target, and up vectors. Use it to construct camera transforms for scene rendering.

Syntax

WasmGPU.math.mat4.lookAt(eye: number[], center: number[], up: number[]): number[]
const result = wgpu.math.mat4.lookAt(eye, center, up);

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
eye number[] Yes Camera position [x, y, z] used to build the view matrix.
center number[] Yes Target point [x, y, z] that the camera looks at.
up number[] Yes Up direction [x, y, z], typically [0, 1, 0].

Returns

number[] - New 4x4 matrix as a 16-number column-major array.

Type Details

type Mat4 = number[]; // expected length: 16 (4x4, column-major)
type Vec3 = number[]; // expected length: 3 ([x, y, z])

Example

const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
const wgpu = await WasmGPU.create(canvas);

const eye = [3, 2, 6];
const center = [0, 0, 0];
const up = [0, 1, 0];
const result = wgpu.math.mat4.lookAt(eye, center, up);
console.log(result);
