VisualServer¶
Inherits: Object
Server for anything visible.
Description¶
Server for anything visible. The visual server is the API backend for everything visible. The whole scene system mounts on it to display.
The visual server is completely opaque, the internals are entirely implementation specific and cannot be accessed.
The visual server can be used to bypass the scene system entirely.
Resources are created using the *_create functions.
All objects are drawn to a viewport. You can use the Viewport attached to the SceneTree or you can create one yourself with viewport_create. When using a custom scenario or canvas, the scenario or canvas needs to be attached to the viewport using viewport_set_scenario or viewport_attach_canvas.
In 3D, all visual objects must be associated with a scenario. The scenario is a visual representation of the world. If accessing the visual server from a running game, the scenario can be accessed from the scene tree from any Spatial node with Spatial.get_world. Otherwise, a scenario can be created with scenario_create.
Similarly, in 2D, a canvas is needed to draw all canvas items.
In 3D, all visible objects are comprised of a resource and an instance. A resource can be a mesh, a particle system, a light, or any other 3D object. In order to be visible resources must be attached to an instance using instance_set_base. The instance must also be attached to the scenario using instance_set_scenario in order to be visible.
In 2D, all visible objects are some form of canvas item. In order to be visible, a canvas item needs to be the child of a canvas attached to a viewport, or it needs to be the child of another canvas item that is eventually attached to the canvas.

bool render_loop_enabled
Setter |

Method Descriptions¶
Sets images to be rendered in the window margin.
Sets margin size, where black bars (or images, if black_bars_set_images was used) are rendered.

Creates a camera and adds it to the VisualServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned. This RID will be used in all camera_* VisualServer functions.
Once finished with your RID, you will want to free the RID using the VisualServer's free_rid static method.
Sets the cull mask associated with this camera. The cull mask describes which 3D layers are rendered by this camera. Equivalent to Camera.cull_mask.
Sets the environment used by this camera. Equivalent to Camera.environment.
Sets camera to use frustum projection. This mode allows adjusting the offset argument to create "tilted frustum" effects.
Sets camera to use orthogonal projection, also known as orthographic projection. Objects remain the same size on the screen no matter how far away they are.
Sets camera to use perspective projection. Objects on the screen becomes smaller when they are far away.
Sets Transform of camera.
