Transform3D

A 3×4 matrix representing a 3D transformation.

Description

The Transform3D built-in Variant type is a 3×4 matrix representing a transformation in 3D space. It contains a Basis, which on its own can represent rotation, scale, and shear. Additionally, combined with its own origin, the transform can also represent a translation.

For a general introduction, see the Matrices and transforms tutorial.

Note: Godot uses a right-handed coordinate system, which is a common standard. For directions, the convention for built-in types like Camera3D is for -Z to point forward (+X is right, +Y is up, and +Z is back). Other objects may use different direction conventions. For more information, see the Importing 3D Scenes tutorial.

Note

There are notable differences when using this API with C#. See C# API differences to GDScript for more information.

Constants

IDENTITY = Transform3D(1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)

A transform with no translation, no rotation, and its scale being 1. Its basis is equal to Basis.IDENTITY.

When multiplied by another Variant such as AABB or another Transform3D, no transformation occurs.

FLIP_X = Transform3D(-1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)

Transform3D with mirroring applied perpendicular to the YZ plane. Its basis is equal to Basis.FLIP_X.

FLIP_Y = Transform3D(1, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)

Transform3D with mirroring applied perpendicular to the XZ plane. Its basis is equal to Basis.FLIP_Y.

FLIP_Z = Transform3D(1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0)

Transform3D with mirroring applied perpendicular to the XY plane. Its basis is equal to Basis.FLIP_Z.


Property Descriptions

Basis basis = Basis(1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1)

The Basis of this transform. It is composed by 3 axes (Basis.x, Basis.y, and Basis.z). Together, these represent the transform's rotation, scale, and shear.


Vector3 origin = Vector3(0, 0, 0)

The translation offset of this transform. In 3D space, this can be seen as the position.


Constructor Descriptions

Transform3D Transform3D ( )

Constructs a Transform3D identical to the IDENTITY.


Transform3D Transform3D ( Transform3D from )

Constructs a Transform3D as a copy of the given Transform3D.


Transform3D Transform3D ( Basis basis, Vector3 origin )

Constructs a Transform3D from a Basis and Vector3.


Transform3D Transform3D ( Projection from )

Constructs a Transform3D from a Projection. Because Transform3D is a 3×4 matrix and Projection is a 4×4 matrix, this operation trims the last row of the projection matrix (from.x.w, from.y.w, from.z.w, and from.w.w are not included in the new transform).


Transform3D Transform3D ( Vector3 x_axis, Vector3 y_axis, Vector3 z_axis, Vector3 origin )

Constructs a Transform3D from four Vector3 values (also called matrix columns).

The first three arguments are the basis's axes (Basis.x,
