```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `x, y, z` | `float` | Where the camera stands. A `vec3` also works. |
| `lookAtX, lookAtY, lookAtZ` | `float` | Where it looks. It must differ from the position. A `vec3` also works. |
| `roll` | `float` | The sideways tilt, in degrees. *(default: `0`)* |
