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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ setFOVy()

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

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).

◆ getFOVy()

const Radian& Ogre::Frustum::getFOVy ( void  ) const

Retrieves the frustums Y-dimension Field Of View (FOV).

◆ setNearClipDistance()

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

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.

◆ getNearClipDistance()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getNearClipDistance ( void  ) const

Retrieves the distance from the frustum to the near clipping plane.

◆ setFarClipDistance()

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

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.

◆ getFarClipDistance()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getFarClipDistance ( void  ) const

Retrieves the distance from the frustum to the far clipping plane.

◆ setAspectRatio()

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

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.

◆ getAspectRatio()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getAspectRatio ( void  ) const

Retrieves the current aspect ratio.

◆ setFrustumOffset() [1/2]

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

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]

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

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.

◆ getFrustumOffset()

const Vector2& Ogre::Frustum::getFrustumOffset ( ) const

Retrieves the frustum offsets.

◆ setFocalLength()

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

Sets frustum focal length (used in stereo rendering).

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

◆ getFocalLength()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getFocalLength ( ) const

Returns focal length of frustum.

◆ setFrustumExtents()

void Ogre::Frustum::setFrustumExtents ( Real  left,
Real  right,
Real  top,
Real  bottom 
)

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

◆ resetFrustumExtents()

void Ogre::Frustum::resetFrustumExtents ( )

Reset the frustum extents to be automatically derived from other params.

◆ getFrustumExtents() [1/2]

RealRect Ogre::Frustum::getFrustumExtents ( ) const

Get the extents of the frustum in view space.

◆ getFrustumExtents() [2/2]

void Ogre::Frustum::getFrustumExtents ( Real outleft,
Real outright,
Real outtop,
Real outbottom 
) const
Deprecated:
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

◆ getProjectionMatrixRS()

const Matrix4& Ogre::Frustum::getProjectionMatrixRS ( void  ) const

Gets the projection matrix for this frustum adjusted for the current rendersystem specifics (may be right or left-handed, depth range may vary).

Remarks
This method retrieves the rendering-API dependent version of the projection matrix. If you want a 'typical' projection matrix then use getProjectionMatrix.

◆ getProjectionMatrixWithRSDepth()

const Matrix4& Ogre::Frustum::getProjectionMatrixWithRSDepth ( void  ) const

Gets the depth-adjusted projection matrix for the current rendersystem, but one which still conforms to right-hand rules.

Remarks
This differs from the rendering-API dependent getProjectionMatrix in that it always returns a right-handed projection matrix result no matter what rendering API is being used - this is required for vertex and fragment programs for example. However, the resulting depth range may still vary between render systems since D3D uses [0,1] and GL uses [-1,1], and the range must be kept the same between programmable and fixed-function pipelines.

◆ getProjectionMatrix()

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

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.

◆ getViewMatrix()

const Affine3& Ogre::Frustum::getViewMatrix ( void  ) const

Gets the view matrix for this frustum.

Mainly for use by OGRE internally.

◆ calcViewMatrixRelative()

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

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)

◆ setCustomViewMatrix()

void Ogre::Frustum::setCustomViewMatrix ( bool  enable,
const Affine3 viewMatrix = Affine3::IDENTITY 
)

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

Frustum::setCustomProjectionMatrix

◆ isCustomViewMatrixEnabled()

bool Ogre::Frustum::isCustomViewMatrixEnabled ( void  ) const
inline

Returns whether a custom view matrix is in use.

◆ setCustomProjectionMatrix()

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

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 it's position and orientation.
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.
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.

◆ getTypeFlags()

uint32 Ogre::Frustum::getTypeFlags ( void  ) const
overridevirtual

Get the 'type flags' for this MovableObject.

Remarks
A type flag identifies the type of the MovableObject as a bitpattern. This is used for categorical inclusion / exclusion in SceneQuery objects. By default, this method returns all ones for objects not created by a MovableObjectFactory (hence always including them); otherwise it returns the value assigned to the MovableObjectFactory. Custom objects which don't use MovableObjectFactory will need to override this if they want to be included in queries.

Reimplemented from Ogre::MovableObject.

◆ getBoundingBox()

const AxisAlignedBox& Ogre::Frustum::getBoundingBox ( void  ) const
overridevirtual

Retrieves the local axis-aligned bounding box for this object.

Implements Ogre::MovableObject.

◆ _updateRenderQueue()

void Ogre::Frustum::_updateRenderQueue ( RenderQueue queue)
overridevirtual

Internal method by which the movable object must add Renderable subclass instances to the rendering queue.

Remarks
The engine will call this method when this object is to be rendered. The object must then create one or more Renderable subclass instances which it places on the passed in Queue for rendering.

Implements Ogre::MovableObject.

◆ getMovableType()

const String& Ogre::Frustum::getMovableType ( void  ) const
overridevirtual

Returns the type name of this object.

Implements Ogre::MovableObject.

◆ _notifyCurrentCamera()

void Ogre::Frustum::_notifyCurrentCamera ( Camera cam)
overridevirtual

Internal method to notify the object of the camera to be used for the next rendering operation.

Remarks
Certain objects may want to do specific processing based on the camera position. This method notifies them in case they wish to do this.

Reimplemented from Ogre::MovableObject.

◆ setMaterial()

Remarks
Note that the Renderable also has the option to override the getTechnique method to specify a particular Technique to use instead of the best one available.

Implements Ogre::Renderable.

◆ getRenderOperation()

void Ogre::Frustum::getRenderOperation ( RenderOperation op)
overridevirtual

Gets the render operation required to send this object to the frame buffer.

Implements Ogre::Renderable.

◆ getWorldTransforms()

void Ogre::Frustum::getWorldTransforms ( Matrix4 xform) const
overridevirtual

Gets the world transform matrix / matrices for this renderable object.

Remarks
If the object has any derived transforms, these are expected to be up to date as long as all the SceneNode structures have been updated before this is called.
This method will populate transform with 1 matrix if it does not use vertex blending. If it does use vertex blending it will fill the passed in pointer with an array of matrices, the length being the value returned from getNumWorldTransforms.
Note
Internal Ogre never supports non-affine matrix for world transform matrix/matrices, the behavior is undefined if returns non-affine matrix here.

Implements Ogre::Renderable.

◆ getSquaredViewDepth()

Real Ogre::Frustum::getSquaredViewDepth ( const Camera cam) const
overridevirtual

◆ enableReflection() [2/2]

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

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

Reimplemented in Ogre::Camera.

◆ enableCustomNearClipPlane() [1/2]

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

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]

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

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.
