Detailed Description

A frustum represents a pyramid, capped at the near and far end which is used to represent either a visible area or a projection area.

Can be used for a number of applications.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Frustum()

Ogre::Frustum::Frustum ( IdType  id,
ObjectMemoryManager objectMemoryManager 
)

Named constructor.

◆ ~Frustum()

Ogre::Frustum::~Frustum ( )
override

Member Function Documentation

◆ _getCachedFrustumPlanes()

const Plane* Ogre::Frustum::_getCachedFrustumPlanes ( ) const
inline

Returns the frustum planes, doesn't check if dirty.

◆ _getCachedWorldSpaceCorners()

const Vector3* Ogre::Frustum::_getCachedWorldSpaceCorners ( ) const
inline

◆ calcViewMatrixRelative()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::calcViewMatrixRelative ( const Vector3 relPos,
Matrix4 matToUpdate 
) const
virtual

Calculate a view matrix for this frustum, relative to a potentially dynamic point.

Mainly for use by OGRE internally when using camera-relative rendering for frustums that are not the centre (e.g. texture projection)

◆ disableCustomNearClipPlane()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::disableCustomNearClipPlane ( )
virtual

Disables any custom near clip plane.

◆ disableReflection()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::disableReflection ( )
virtual

Disables reflection modification previously turned on with enableReflection.

◆ enableCustomNearClipPlane() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::enableCustomNearClipPlane ( const MovablePlane plane)
virtual

Links the frustum to a custom near clip plane, which can be used to clip geometry in a custom manner without using user clip planes.

Remarks
There are several applications for clipping a scene arbitrarily by a single plane; the most common is when rendering a reflection to a texture, and you only want to render geometry that is above the water plane (to do otherwise results in artefacts). Whilst it is possible to use user clip planes, they are not supported on all cards, and sometimes are not hardware accelerated when they are available. Instead, where a single clip plane is involved, this technique uses a 'fudging' of the near clip plane, which is available and fast on all hardware, to perform as the arbitrary clip plane. This does change the shape of the frustum, leading to some depth buffer loss of precision, but for many of the uses of this technique that is not an issue.
This version of the method links to a plane, rather than requiring a by-value plane definition, and therefore you can make changes to the plane (e.g. by moving / rotating the node it is attached to) and they will automatically affect this object.
Note
This technique only works for perspective projection.
Parameters
planeThe plane to link to to perform the clipping. This plane must continue to exist while the camera is linked to it; do not destroy it before the frustum.

◆ enableCustomNearClipPlane() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::enableCustomNearClipPlane ( const Plane plane)
virtual

Links the frustum to a custom near clip plane, which can be used to clip geometry in a custom manner without using user clip planes.

Remarks
There are several applications for clipping a scene arbitrarily by a single plane; the most common is when rendering a reflection to a texture, and you only want to render geometry that is above the water plane (to do otherwise results in artefacts). Whilst it is possible to use user clip planes, they are not supported on all cards, and sometimes are not hardware accelerated when they are available. Instead, where a single clip plane is involved, this technique uses a 'fudging' of the near clip plane, which is available and fast on all hardware, to perform as the arbitrary clip plane. This does change the shape of the frustum, leading to some depth buffer loss of precision, but for many of the uses of this technique that is not an issue.
Note
This technique only works for perspective projection.
Parameters
planeThe plane to link to to perform the clipping. This plane must continue to exist while the camera is linked to it; do not destroy it before the frustum.

◆ enableReflection() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::enableReflection ( const MovablePlane p)
virtual

Modifies this frustum so it always renders from the reflection of itself through the plane specified.

Note that this version of the method links to a plane so that changes to it are picked up automatically. It is important that this plane continues to exist whilst this object does; do not destroy the plane before the frustum.

Remarks
This is obviously useful for performing planar reflections.

◆ enableReflection() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::enableReflection ( const Plane p)
virtual

Modifies this frustum so it always renders from the reflection of itself through the plane specified.

Remarks
This is obviously useful for performing planar reflections.

◆ getProjectionMatrix()

virtual const Matrix4& Ogre::Frustum::getProjectionMatrix ( ) const
virtual

Gets the normal projection matrix for this frustum, ie the projection matrix which conforms to standard right-handed rules and uses depth range [-1,+1].

Remarks
This differs from the rendering-API dependent getProjectionMatrixRS in that it always returns a right-handed projection matrix with depth range [-1,+1], result no matter what rendering API is being used - this is required for some uniform algebra for example.

◆ resetFrustumExtents()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::resetFrustumExtents ( )
virtual

◆ setAspectRatio()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setAspectRatio ( Real  ratio)
virtual

Sets the aspect ratio for the frustum viewport.

Remarks
The ratio between the x and y dimensions of the rectangular area visible through the frustum is known as aspect ratio: aspect = width / height .
The default for most fullscreen windows is 1.3333 - this is also assumed by Ogre unless you use this method to state otherwise.

◆ setCustomProjectionMatrix()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setCustomProjectionMatrix ( bool  enable,
const Matrix4 projectionMatrix = Matrix4::IDENTITY,
bool  alternateDepthRange = false 
)
virtual

Set whether to use a custom projection matrix on this frustum.

Remarks
This is an advanced method which allows you to manually set the projection matrix on this frustum, rather than having it calculate itself based on the clipping distances or the field of view.

See Frustum::setCustomViewMatrix

Note
After enabling a custom projection matrix, the frustum will no longer update on its own based on field of view and near / far distance changes. You are completely responsible for keeping the projection matrix up to date if those values change. The custom matrix will be returned from getProjectionMatrix and derivative functions. Even when using a custom projection matrix, you should still call the methods that update the ner / far distances and field of view.
Parameters
enableIf true, the custom projection matrix passed as the second parameter will be used in preference to an auto calculated one. If false, the frustum will revert to auto calculating the projection matrix.
projectionMatrixThe custom view matrix to use.
alternateDepthRangeSet this to true if the input projectionMatrix has the depth in range [0; 1] instead of the range [-1; 1] that Ogre expects.

Projection matrices obtained from Oculus SDK's need to set this to true.

Note that we will internally convert the projection matrix by performing the range conversion, so don't expect Frustum::getProjectionMatrix to return you exactly the same projection matrix you passed to us!

◆ setCustomViewMatrix()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setCustomViewMatrix ( bool  enable,
const Matrix4 viewMatrix = Matrix4::IDENTITY 
)
virtual

Set whether to use a custom view matrix on this frustum.

Remarks
This is an advanced method which allows you to manually set the view matrix on this frustum, rather than having it calculate itself based on it's position and orientation.
Note
After enabling a custom view matrix, the frustum will no longer update on its own based on position / orientation changes. You are completely responsible for keeping the view matrix up to date. The custom matrix will be returned from getViewMatrix.
Parameters
enableIf true, the custom view matrix passed as the second parameter will be used in preference to an auto calculated one. If false, the frustum will revert to auto calculating the view matrix.
viewMatrixThe custom view matrix to use, the matrix must be an affine matrix.

◆ setFarClipDistance()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setFarClipDistance ( Real  farDist)
virtual

Sets the distance to the far clipping plane.

Remarks
The view frustum is a pyramid created from the frustum position and the edges of the viewport. This method sets the distance for the far end of that pyramid. Different applications need different values: e.g. a flight sim needs a much further far clipping plane than a first-person shooter. An important point here is that the larger the ratio between near and far clipping planes, the lower the accuracy of the Z-buffer used to depth-cue pixels. This is because the Z-range is limited to the size of the Z buffer (16 or 32-bit) and the max values must be spread over the gap between near and far clip planes. As it happens, you can affect the accuracy far more by altering the near distance rather than the far distance, but keep this in mind.
Parameters
farDistThe distance to the far clipping plane from the frustum in world coordinates.If you specify 0, this means an infinite view distance which is useful especially when projecting shadows; but be careful not to use a near distance too close.

◆ setFocalLength()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setFocalLength ( Real  focalLength = 1.0)
virtual

Sets frustum focal length (used in stereo rendering).

Parameters
focalLengthThe distance to the focal plane from the frustum in world coordinates.

◆ setFOVy()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setFOVy ( const Radian fovy)
virtual

Sets the Y-dimension Field Of View (FOV) of the frustum.

Remarks
Field Of View (FOV) is the angle made between the frustum's position, and the edges of the 'screen' onto which the scene is projected. High values (90+ degrees) result in a wide-angle, fish-eye kind of view, low values (30- degrees) in a stretched, telescopic kind of view. Typical values are between 45 and 60 degrees.
This value represents the VERTICAL field-of-view. The horizontal field of view is calculated from this depending on the dimensions of the viewport (they will only be the same if the viewport is square).
Note
Setting the FOV overrides the value supplied for frustum::setNearClipPlane.

◆ setFrustumExtents()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setFrustumExtents ( Real  left,
Real  right,
Real  top,
Real  bottom,
FrustrumExtentsType  frustrumExtentsType = FET_PROJ_PLANE_POS 
)
virtual

Manually set the extents of the frustum.

Parameters
left,right,top,bottomThe position where the side clip planes intersect the near clip plane, in eye space OR the tangent of the half angles from the eye to the edges of the near clip plane
frustrumExtentsTypeSpecifies how the extents are represented. Be default they are the positions on near clip plane. However if this is a scene camera it is recommended that you actually use the tangent of the half angles. ie Half the FoV angles. This is because Ogre uses this camera setup to calculate custom clipping planes for PSSM algorithms, and Forward+ algorithms, but alter the near and far clip distances.
If you supply extents as positions on the projection plane the near clip distance has already been calculated as part of the supplied extents, however if they are tangent of the half angles Ogre can apply different near clip distances dynamically.

◆ setFrustumOffset() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setFrustumOffset ( const Vector2 offset)
virtual

Sets frustum offsets, used in stereo rendering.

Remarks
You can set both horizontal and vertical plane offsets of "eye"; in stereo rendering frustum is moved in horizontal plane. To be able to render from two "eyes" you'll need two cameras rendering on two RenderTargets.
The frustum offsets is in world coordinates, and default to (0, 0) - no offsets.
Parameters
offsetThe horizontal and vertical plane offsets.

◆ setFrustumOffset() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setFrustumOffset ( Real  horizontal = 0.0,
Real  vertical = 0.0 
)
virtual

Sets frustum offsets, used in stereo rendering.

Remarks
You can set both horizontal and vertical plane offsets of "eye"; in stereo rendering frustum is moved in horizontal plane. To be able to render from two "eyes" you'll need two cameras rendering on two RenderTargets.
The frustum offsets is in world coordinates, and default to (0, 0) - no offsets.
Parameters
horizontalThe horizontal plane offset.
verticalThe vertical plane offset.

◆ setNearClipDistance()

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setNearClipDistance ( Real  nearDist)
virtual

Sets the position of the near clipping plane.

Remarks
The position of the near clipping plane is the distance from the frustums position to the screen on which the world is projected. The near plane distance, combined with the field-of-view and the aspect ratio, determines the size of the viewport through which the world is viewed (in world co-ordinates). Note that this world viewport is different to a screen viewport, which has it's dimensions expressed in pixels. The frustums viewport should have the same aspect ratio as the screen viewport it renders into to avoid distortion.
Parameters
nearDistThe distance to the near clipping plane from the frustum in world coordinates.

◆ setOrientationMode()

void Ogre::Frustum::setOrientationMode ( OrientationMode  orientationMode)

Set the orientation mode of the frustum.

Default is OR_DEGREE_0

virtual void Ogre::Frustum::setOrthoWindow ( Real  w,
Real  h 
)
virtual
