)}.fieldOfView
Description
3D camera property; indicates the angle formed by two rays: one drawn from the camera to the top
of the projection plane, and the other drawn from the camera to the bottom of the projection plane.
The images of the models in the 3D world are mapped onto the projection plane, which is
positioned in front of the camera like a screen in front of a movie projector. The projection plane
is what you see in the 3D sprite. The top and bottom of the projection plane are defined by the
fieldOfView
property. Note, however, that the sprite is not resized as the value of the
fieldOfView
property changes. Instead, the image of the projection plane is scaled to fit the rect
of the sprite.
