I am trying to figure out a way to put a character on the screen so he follows the camera as i walk you know? like in some games how you can see the character walking though the 3d world is this posisble yet? if so any info?
Do you mean a 3rd person view, like Tomb Raider, or other such games? If so, you'd want the camera to follow the mesh, not the other way around. Each loop update the position of the camera so it is somewhere behind your mesh (or wherever you want it).
I think you would set something in the main event loop that 1. gets the position of the mesh, 2. sets the camera a ways behind it, 3. does camera->setTarget(mesh->getPosition());
you may also want to put a collision detector on the camera so it doesn't go wandering into walls etc.
You can specify your mesh attached at a scene node as the parent of the camera when you create it so when you move the mesh the camera follows. I tried it but it makes some jokes. I think is a library problem but try it out aniway.
