UCameraComponent::GetCameraView

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Camera/CameraComponent.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtualUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Computes this camera's point of view for the current frame, combining its transform, field of view, and post-process settings into a FMinimalViewInfo.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Called every frame by the owning camera actor/manager — it's not something you typically call yourself, but it's the standard override point for custom camera behavior in a UCameraComponent subclass.
• Overrides must call Super::GetCameraView() first (or otherwise fully populate DesiredView) since the base implementation applies FieldOfView, ProjectionMode, and PostProcessSettings.
