| parent (optional) - parent entity of camera |
|
Creates a camera entity and returns its handle. Without at least one camera, you won't be able to see anything in your 3D world. With more than one camera, you will be to achieve effect such as split-screen modes and rear-view mirrors. A camera can only render to the dxBackBuffer. If you wish to display 3D graphics on an image or a texture then copy the contents of the dxBackBuffer to the appropriate buffer. The optional parent parameter allow you to specify a parent entity for the camera so that when the parent is moved the child camera will move with it. However, this relationship is one way; applying movement commands to the child will not affect the parent. Specifying a parent entity will still result in the camera being created at position 0,0,0 rather than at the parent entity's position. |
