CameraComponentExtensions.cs

These extensions provide powerful and convenient ways to interact with the camera, transforming coordinates between different spaces, performing raycasting, and handling user inputs for dynamic camera control.

Bepu Physics:

• Raycast() - Performs a raycasting operation from the specified CameraComponent's position through the specified screen position in world coordinates, and returns information about the hit result
• RaycastMouse() - Performs a raycasting operation from the specified CameraComponent's position through the mouse cursor position in screen coordinates, and returns information about the hit result

Bullet Physics:

• Bullet Physics - Raycast(ScriptComponent component, ..), Raycast(Simulation simulation, ..) - Performs a raycasting operation from the specified CameraComponent's position through the specified screen position in world coordinates, and returns information about the hit result
• Bullet Physics - RaycastMouse(ScriptComponent component, ..), RaycastMouse(Simulation simulation, ..) - Performs a raycasting operation from the specified CameraComponent's position through the mouse cursor position in screen coordinates, and returns information about the hit result

Physics independent extension methods:

• GetPickRay() - Calculates a ray from the camera through a point on the screen in world space
• LogicDirectionToWorldDirection() - Converts a 2D logical direction into a 3D world direction relative to the camera's orientation
• LogicDirectionToWorldDirection() - Converts a 2D logical direction into a 3D world direction relative to the camera's orientation, using a specified up vector
• ScreenPointToRay() - Calculates the near and far vectors for a ray that starts at the camera and passes through a given screen point
• ScreenToWorldPoint() - Converts the screen position to a point in world coordinates
• ScreenToWorldRaySegment() - Converts the screen position to a RaySegment in world coordinates
• ScreenToWorldRaySegment() - Converts the screen position to a RaySegment in world coordinates
• WorldToClip() - Converts the world position to clip space coordinates relative to camera
• WorldToScreenPoint() - Converts the world position to screen space coordinates relative to camera

Each of these methods is designed to offer streamlined, high-level operations that simplify camera manipulation tasks, allowing you to focus on creating immersive and dynamic 3D environments.
