ViewportFrame
ViewportFrame is a GuiObject that renders 3D objects inside its bounds, offering a way to display 3D objects in a 2D space like a ScreenGui. This object has the following caveats:
No shadows or post-processing effects are rendered.
Enum.Material.Neon and Enum.Material.Glass materials render at the lowest quality.
Nested GuiObjects aren't supported.
By default, lighting inside a ViewportFrame acts as if Lighting.EnvironmentSpecularScale and Lighting.EnvironmentDiffuseScale are both set to 0, so properties that rely on these fields, such as SurfaceAppearance.MetalnessMap, may look different.
This object can use a Sky child as a cubemap for reflections, in which case only the Sky object's six Skybox[…] properties are used. Assuming these properties are valid, lighting inside the ViewportFrame acts similarly to if Lighting.EnvironmentSpecularScale and Lighting.EnvironmentDiffuseScale are both set to 1. For details, see here.

Properties
Ambient
This property determines the lighting hue applied to the area within the
ViewportFrame. Defaults to
CurrentCamera
Camera instance that is used to render children objects. Defaults to nil.
The Camera object does not replicate so the ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera won't replicate either. When you set this property, Camera.CFrame and Camera.FieldOfView will be saved and replicate with the ViewportFrame internally so the client can render the frame without a Camera object.
ImageColor3
This property determines how the rendered viewport image will be
colorized, allowing you to change the color without directly modifying the
rendered object. The default colorization value is
See also ImageTransparency which determines the transparency of the rendered image.
ImageTransparency
This property determines the transparency of the rendered viewport image, allowing you to change the transparency without directly modifying the rendered object. A value of 0 (default) is completely opaque and a value of 1 is completely transparent (invisible).
See also ImageColor3 which determines how the rendered image will be colorized.
LightDirection
A Vector3 representing the direction of the light source from
position
