createCamera#position¶

Summary¶

createCamera#position returns the camera world position derived from its transform hierarchy. Read this property when implementing custom controls, overlays, or diagnostics that depend on eye position. Use camera.setWorldPosition(...) to set world coordinates; camera.transform.setPosition(...) sets local coordinates and differs when the camera has a parent.

Syntax¶

Camera.position: number[]
const position = camera.position;

Parameters¶

This property does not take parameters.

Returns¶

number[] - Current camera world position in [x, y, z] form.

Example¶

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

const camera = wgpu.createCamera.perspective({ aspect: canvas.clientWidth / canvas.clientHeight });
camera.transform.setPosition(1.5, 2.0, 3.5);
const position = camera.position;
console.log(position);
