Using a perspective camera

Three.js provides two cameras: a camera that renders the scene with a perspective projection (as we see images in the real world) and a camera that renders the scene with an orthogonal projection (fake 3D often used in games; for more information on this type of camera, check out the upcoming Using an orthographic camera recipe). In this recipe, we'll look at the first of these two cameras and explain how you can use the perspective camera in your own scene.
