Camera

Camera — Aspose.3D FOSS for Java

Package: com.aspose.threed (aspose-3d-foss 26.1.0)

Camera is an Entity that defines a viewpoint in a 3D scene. It controls how the scene is projected onto a 2D image plane. A camera is attached to a Node to position and orient it in the scene.

public class Camera extends Entity

Inheritance

A3DObject -> SceneObject -> Entity -> Camera

Implementation Notes

In the Java FOSS edition, the Camera class has constructors only — no camera-specific properties (field-of-view, near/far plane, projection mode) are implemented.

Export limitation: Camera entities are not written when exporting scenes. The glTF exporter (GltfExporter) processes only Mesh entities — Camera nodes are silently skipped. This means a camera attached to a node will not appear in any exported file. The “Read Camera After Import” example below shows how to read camera names from an imported file; however, writing cameras back to a new file is not supported in this edition.

Constructor

Camera()
Camera(String name)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`name`	`String`	`null`	Optional name for the camera.

Properties

Camera inherits all properties from Entity and A3DObject. No additional format-specific properties are exposed in this edition.

Property	Type	Getter	Setter	Description
`name`	`String`	`getName()`	`setName(String)`	Name of the camera object.
`parentNode`	`Node`	`getParentNode()`	`setParentNode(Node)`	The node this camera is attached to.
`excluded`	`boolean`	`getExcluded()`	`setExcluded(boolean)`	When `true`, this entity is excluded from export.

Usage Examples

Attach a Camera to a Scene

import com.aspose.threed.*;

Scene scene = new Scene();

Camera cam = new Camera("MainCamera");

Node node = scene.getRootNode().createChildNode("camera", cam);
node.getTransform().setTranslation(0.0, 5.0, 20.0);

scene.save("scene-with-camera.glb");

Read Camera After Import

import com.aspose.threed.*;

Scene scene = new Scene();
scene.open("model.glb");

for (Node node : scene.getRootNode().getChildNodes()) {
    if (node.getEntity() instanceof Camera) {
        Camera cam = (Camera) node.getEntity();
        System.out.println("Camera: " + cam.getName());
    }
}
