Documentation / scene / ProjectionMatrixNode

Class: ProjectionMatrixNode

Defined in: libs/scene/src/utility/blueprint/material/inputs.ts:920

Projection matrix input node

Remarks

Provides the camera's projection matrix (view space to clip space transformation). This matrix transforms coordinates from camera/view space to normalized device coordinates (NDC).

For perspective projection: converts frustum to cube, applies perspective divide For orthographic projection: applies parallel projection scaling

Used for:

  • Custom vertex transformations
  • Screen-space effects
  • Depth calculations
  • Custom projection modifications

Output:

  • Output 1: 4x4 projection matrix (mat4)

Example

typescript
const projMatrix = new ProjectionMatrixNode();
const viewSpacePos = new ViewSpacePositionNode();

// Transform to clip space
const transform = new TransformNode();
transform.connectInput(1, viewSpacePos, 1);
transform.connectInput(2, projMatrix, 1);
