A bug I think?

I tried jumping off a 3D plane I was standing on I just let myself fall forever lol.. and The camera started to shake faster and faster and faster. and it was like the whole screne was on a earthquake? Not sure >.< may not be bug I have no idea just reporting so people know :/

Yes, I've noticed the effect from the beginning. Very interesting effect. Looks like a whole screen shader (if you played Max Payne 2 - just remember his dreams...).
Would be nice to control this effect, I mean switch it on and off programmatically.

Hehe, funny, never tried this out myself. If you fall into the infinite void, wouldn't your head shake too?

[stampsm]

it is probably due to the large velocity that you are traveling
since your new position has to be calculated every frame the large velocities probable affect the calculations

when i get home i will test this out by setting the FPS camera up with a very high velocity and see what happens

Oh.. I see now.

I saw the same behavior with OGRE. I was due to the system having so large of values that the floats in the matrix lost decimal precision. Because the decimals were lost, each calculation had a larger and larger delta loss. Which made for a greater and greater "delta shake" in the camera.

That may make little sense, so the cliffnotes for it is "big numbers bad, cause problems for every 3d renderer"
