	<brief_description>
		Camera node, displays from a point of view.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		[Camera3D] is a special node that displays what is visible from its current location. Cameras register themselves in the nearest [Viewport] node (when ascending the tree). Only one camera can be active per viewport. If no viewport is available ascending the tree, the camera will register in the global viewport. In other words, a camera just provides 3D display capabilities to a [Viewport], and, without one, a scene registered in that [Viewport] (or higher viewports) can't be displayed.

			The culling mask that describes which 3D render layers are rendered by this camera.
		</member>
		<member name="current" type="bool" setter="set_current" getter="is_current" default="false">
			If [code]true[/code], the ancestor [Viewport] is currently using this camera.
			If multiple cameras are in the scene, one will always be made current. For example, if two [Camera3D] nodes are present in the scene and only one is current, setting one camera's [member current] to [code]false[/code] will cause the other camera to be made current.

			For reference, the default vertical field of view value ([code]75.0[/code]) is equivalent to a horizontal FOV of:
			- ~91.31 degrees in a 4:3 viewport
			- ~101.67 degrees in a 16:10 viewport

		</member>
		<member name="size" type="float" setter="set_size" getter="get_size" default="1.0">
			The camera's size measured as 1/2 the width or height. Only applicable in orthogonal and frustum modes. Since [member keep_aspect] locks on axis, [code]size[/code] sets the other axis' size length.
