p5.EasyCam

Simple 3D camera control for p5js and the WEBGL/P3D renderer.

This library is a derivative of the original PeasyCam Library by Jonathan Feinberg and combines new useful features with the great look and feel of the original version.

Processing/Java version of this project: https://github.com/diwi/peasycam/tree/PeasyCam3

Examples

EasyCam.js - Advanced Shader/Lighting

EasyCam.js - Basic

dwgl.js - WebGL1/WebGL2 wrapper

Usage

var easycam;

function setup() { 
  createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight, WEBGL);

  easycam = createEasyCam();
  // easycam = new Dw.EasyCam(this._renderer);
  // easycam = new Dw.EasyCam(this._renderer, {distance:300, center:[0,0,0]});
  // easycam = new Dw.EasyCam(this._renderer, {distance:300, center:[0,0,0], rotation:[1,0,0,0]});
} 

function draw(){
  background(64);
  fill(255);
  box(200);
}

## CAMERA SETUP

// constructor
new Dw.EasyCam(p5.RendererGL, state);
new Dw.EasyCam(p5.RendererGL, {
      distance : z,                 // scalar (optional)
      center   : [x, y, z],         // vector (optional)
      rotation : [q0, q1, q2, q3],  // quaternion (optional)
      viewport : [x, y, w, h],      // array (optional)
    }

// examples
createEasyCam(); // uses the primary WEBGL renderer and default settings
 ...
createEasyCam(p5.RendererGL);
createEasyCam(p5.RendererGL, {distance:z});
createEasyCam(p5.RendererGL, {distance:z, center:[x,y,z]});
  ... 
new Dw.EasyCam(p5.RendererGL);
new Dw.EasyCam(p5.RendererGL, {distance:z});
new Dw.EasyCam(p5.RendererGL, {distance:z, center:[x,y,z]});
  ... 

## CAMERA STATE

state = {
  distance : z,                 // scalar
  center   : [x, y, z],         // vector
  rotation : [q0, q1, q2, q3],  // quaternion
}
