trimesh.scene.cameras.look_at(points, fov, rotation=None, distance=None, center=None)

Generate transform for a camera to keep a list of points in the camera’s field of view.

Parameters

• points ((n, 3) float) – Points in space

• fov ((2,) float) – Field of view, in DEGREES

• rotation (None, or (4, 4) float) – Rotation matrix for initial rotation

• distance (None or float) – Distance from camera to center

trimesh.scene.cameras.ray_pixel_coords(camera)

Get the x-y coordinates of rays in camera coordinates at z == -1.

One coordinate pair will be given for each pixel as defined in camera.resolution. If reshaped, the returned array corresponds to pixels of the rendered image.

Examples

```python xy = ray_pixel_coords(camera).reshape(

tuple(camera.coordinates) + (2,))

top_left == xy[0, 0] bottom_right == xy[-1, -1] ```

Parameters

camera (trimesh.scene.Camera) – Camera object to generate rays from

Returns

xy – x-y coordinates of intersection of each camera ray with the z == -1 frame

Return type

(n, 2) float
