cameraPos

cameraPos is a variable or property commonly found in 3D graphics programming and game development environments. It represents the current three-dimensional position of the virtual camera within the game world or scene. This position is typically defined using a coordinate system, often a Cartesian system with X, Y, and Z axes. The camera's position determines what part of the virtual world the player or observer sees.

Manipulating cameraPos is fundamental to controlling the viewpoint. By changing its X, Y, and Z values, developers can move the camera forward, backward, up, down, left, or right. This movement can be instantaneous or animated over time to create smooth transitions. The cameraPos is often updated in each frame of the rendering loop to reflect changes in the player's character, the environment, or scripted events.

In many applications, cameraPos is not independent and is influenced by other camera properties such as camera rotation (or orientation), which dictates the direction the camera is looking. Together, position and rotation define the camera's full transformation. Accessing and modifying cameraPos is a standard operation for implementing various camera perspectives, including first-person, third-person, fixed, and free-look modes. It is a core concept for rendering any visible scene in a virtual space.
