SDK plug-in method to check if object is 3D Camera viewport?

Is there an plug-in SDK method to check if an object is within the 3D camera viewport?

For example, how the engine might determine using the 3D Shape's x, y, z elevation, bbox, and z height if Draw() should be called or not (I'm not sure how it's done, just guessing.)

I want to check if my 3D Object is visible or not depending on the camera location and orientation. If it is, I want to have the option to pause animations to save CPU cycles.

For 2D I used to do the below, but, this is not applicable for 3D.

 let wi = this.GetWorldInfo();
 let layerRect = wi.GetLayer().GetViewport();
 let instanceRect = wi.GetBoundingBox();
 let onScreen = instanceRect.intersectsRect(layerRect);

I think this requested SDK method is similar to the Common ACE Is on-screen - which looks to work for both 3D and 2D.

Construct determines whether to call the Draw() method, so your plugin shouldn't need to worry about that.

You don't need your own viewport check either - you can implement logic along the lines of "if Draw() hasn't been called for a few ticks, assume I'm now outside the viewport, and stop doing processing work".

Thanks Ashley for the response, yes I was not concerned about whether Draw() was called or not, I was thinking more about the processing I was doing for animation (I want some of it to continue, but not all the detailed processing, if it's not being rendered / on screen.)

I will take a look at implementing a check if Draw() has been called in the last few ticks (probably a simple shift register like array pushed by Draw() and popped by Tick() )
