| A point in world space at which a virtual camera is positioned in the camera model of view control. It is equivalent to the view point or eye point in other literature. For an orthographic image projection, the from point is considered to be infinitely distant from the to point. For perspective projection, which shows a perceived vanishing point such as railroad tracks that seem to meet in the distance, the from point is not considered to be infinitely distant from the to point. | |||||
