coord system ?

Post by Guest »

what kind of coordinate system does irrlicht use ? left or right hand ?
I was assuming that its like this:

+y
| +z
| /
|/
----------> +x

Is that correct ?

Assuming i have quad at z=0 with lower left point (0,0) and upper right point (16,16), how can i set up a camera (FPS) to look at the middle of the wall ?

Ok, this is what i found out:

+y +z
| /
| /
|/
---------- +x

---------- +u
|
|
|
+v

The problem with the camera, looks like the FPS-Camera cannt be
initialised correctly with the setPosition and setTarget methods.
setPosition does it job, but setTarget gives bad results.
