Projection not quite right

[Malaidas]

Hi

You're propably already aware of this, but just thought I'd mention

Theres a distortion in the 3D projection. When you rotate the cameara the derived scene is slightly but noticebly wrong.

I'm guessing that it might be an ordering problem in your matrix calculations.

Can you give better description or some screenshots ? I don't see anything wrong with projection under OpenGL.

I think you are probably talking about fisheye, correct? Try fiddling with the FOV settings. 90 degrees works well for me.

[Malaidas]

Thanks Tyn I'll try that.

Its difficult to give a screenshot warui as its only really noticeble when actually moving round.

For an example though. Load up the specialFX demo as provided. Stand at one wall and look at the opposite wall. Then rotate around a point on the wall. You'll see what I mean.

OK, I see. As Tyn said the problem is in default FOV value which is set to 45 degrees instead of usual 90.
To solve other camera issues check my Smooth FPS camera topic.

Where can you change that FOV value? Because I had already noticed that the FPS Camera didn't look like the camera's of real fps games ...

Looking into API documentation is a nice habit. You should try it.

Srry, already found it in API. First thing to do in future: look in the API

Edit: Camera is acting like a real FPS-camera now but the view-rectangle (hope you know what a mean) has become smaller, it is just like you zoomed in.

Someone knows what causes this?
