Hi,
I’m making a simple object viewer. When a user loads in a object I’d like the camera to move/resize itself so the object fills the view.
var body = load(user_model).instance()
add_child(body)
Is there a simple way or technique to place the camera?
Even something basic like moving the camera backwards until the object fits on the screen.

The following steps assume the loaded object is a visual instance.
Step 1: Retrieve the mesh’s AABB. This will be needed later on.
Step 2: Put your current camera at the center of this AABB:
//bound_box is the retrieved AABB.
cam.translation = bound_box.position + bound_box.size/2.0
Step 3: Move the camera along its local z axis by the AABB’s size/2.
cam.translation += cam.get_camera_transform().basis.z * bound_box.size.length()/2.0
If all goes well, you should see the entire mesh from any angle.
