Three umbrella JIRA issues were created to capture most of this work: Movable Camera , 3D Geometry, and 3D Attributes

Proposed Features

Movable cameras and SubScene

  • Camera is now a Node
  • Camera can be added to a scene graph
  • Camera's position and aim (or orientation) is set using standard Node transform properties and methods
  • For backward compatibility, fixed camera need not be added to the scene
  • Added new properties for near & far clipping plane
  • SubScene is a special Node for scene separation
  • It can be used to render part of the Scene with different camera
  • Possible use cases are:
    • Picture in picture
    • Overlay or "heads-up" display for UI controls in a scene with a moving camera
