[Fluxus] Screen resolution

[Carlos Alegría]

Hi again,

I would like to know the reasoning behind the camera translation. I understand that it is translating the camera to be able to see the plane that contains the texture, but I do not understand why is that the plane is not viewed smaller because of the camera translation. Is fluxus using by default an orthogonal projection?. If this is the case, it is possible to change that projection?

Thanks in advance

fluxus works a bit differently. you can scale up a plane to cover the screen independently from the screen resolution.
a simple way to do this is something like this:

; set and lock the default camera
(set-camera-transform (mtranslate (vector 0 0 -10))) (with-primitive (build-plane)
     (texture background-texture)
     (scale (vector 20 15 1)))

when you change the size of the fluxus window, the plane will always cover the screen.

best,
