Camera to Character-animation

[804]

I have a animated model of my player and i want the camera to move with its animation.
So if the modell jumps the camera moves the same way, like a childnode but moving with the animation of the character.

I don't know how to explain it, but i want something like the camera does in this video:

Guess only:
you may try parenting the camera to the head of the animated mesh scene node:

Code: Select all

scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* node = ...
scene::IBoneSceneNode* head = node->getJointNode("head");
if (head)
     camera->setParent(head);

I have to set a name for the joint while moddeling and then just call it in my code?
So in your example the name of the joint is "head" !?

A named joint node would make the code easier to understand. On the other hand, joint node can also be referred to by an id.

Code: Select all

virtual IBoneSceneNode* irr::scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode::getJointNode (u32 jointID);

The api docs are your friends.
