That video is a very good example except i do want it with the keyboard

So what is happening is the camera's look at is being controlled by the mouse and that is all fine and done, all working good and don't need to touch it.

The problem is moving the position of the camera.
What i would like to ...

Again this only helps for one of the axis

now the camera will roll over the top all fine (pressing w and s)

but pressing a and d, the camera will do that it was doing before

So what i want is for both axis to use 0,0,0 as there centre and for them both to rotate around that centre point, at the ...

ok so that does the camera moving in a 360 degrees looking mode,
but i want to be able to MOVE the camera in a 360 degree motion as well.
i'm sorry if that wasn't clear.

what i am havning is an object in the centre, at the origin

from there i want to be able to move the camera in and out from it ...

so should i just make it 0,0,1 then or what???

and if i can't then how will i be able to get it to rotate around the origin???

tried the quaternions and they are a no go for me anyway,

this is a snippet of code that is meant to rotate around the centre but
all it does is snap the items back to the front and then does nothing, not very helpful.

core::quaternion rotation;
core::vector3df axis(0,0,0); axis.normalize();
core ...

So what i want is for the camera to rotate a full 360 degrees completely around the origin in the game.

the problem i was having with doing it by the camera rotation based of a parent dummy node was the gimble lock it would get at the top.

to combat this, i decided to leave the camera at the ...

Thanks Frosty

can someone please help us here

have gone though it line by line with the example and fixed the abstract class, it was because an o was a capital instead of lowercase

The rest of the errors have something to do with the scenemanager in the render() function.

for some reason it is being classed as an undecleared identifier and so ...

thank you for the help have corrected that error
and the const is after just how it is like in the example


virtual u32 getMaterialCount() const
{
return 1;
}

virtual video::SMaterial& getMaterial(u32 i)
{
return Material;
}


unfortunatly that still hasn't helps and i am stillgetting ...

so this is the code and it looks identical to the example code that is in the file as far as i can see. I tried to run the example code and it does work so i can't understand what i am doing wrong.

i did use the tutorial of the main website but if there is a better place to get the tutorials from ...

hello everyone

The 3rd tutorial for some reason is not working for me and i can't find any forum questions for it.
